In the operating position the crank () rests on a part of the unit supporting structure (). The crank () also includes one or two resting portions which in the unit closed position act in contact respectively against one or two shoulders, the shoulders being positioned respectively to prevent movements of the crank () towards the shaft parallel with the axial line and/or movements of the crank () transversally to the plane in which it rotates.
