Part of a locking device

This multi-couplings plate (P) includes a locking device comprising a frame () fixed on the plate (P), locking members and a drive mechanism, comprising a rotary element () rotatable in the frame (), a sliding element translatable relative to the frame () and which cooperates with the locking members. The locking device also comprises several ratchet notches (-) secured to an element () of the drive mechanism () and juxtaposed in the movement direction relative to the frame () of the element () of the drive mechanism, the ratchet notches (-) comprising a final notch () and at least one intermediate notch (-), and a pawl movable in a housing () of the frame () and pushed back by a spring () toward one of the ratchet notches (-). When the pawl cooperates with the intermediate notch (-), the pawl limits the movement of the sliding element toward its forward position to a position midway between the forward position and the withdrawn position, and in the coupled configuration, the pawl cooperates with the final notch () and keeps the sliding element in the withdrawn position.
