In this device, the lever arm actuates the opening and closure operations when it is rotated in the same direction. This allows easier closure and opening operations, with a simplification of the opening-closure operating sequence, providing a lever arm that is free from stresses once closure has occurred.<img id="iaf01" file="imgaf001.tif" wi="123" he="62" img-content="drawing" img-format="tif" /></p></abstract><search-report-data id="srep" srep-office="EP" date-produced="" lang=""><doc-page id="srep0001" file="srep0001.tif" type="tif" orientation="portrait" he="297" wi="210" /></search-report-data></ep-patent-document>
