Abstract
A knob (3) capable of pivoting an actuating lever (4) of a latch and articulated to a case (1) which is open toward the exterior and capable of receiving the knob (3). The latter is laterally articulated to pivot, on one hand, about two pins (16, 17) fixed to the case (1) and, on the other hand, about two movable pins (14, 15) integral with the knob. All of the pins are within the case (1). Each pin (16, 17) fixed to the case is connected by a link (9, 11; 12, 13) to a movable pin (14, 15) and all the pins (14 to 17) are so positioned that straight lines (D1, D2) each passing through a fixed pin (16, 17) and through a movable pin (14, 15) interconnected by the same link intersect outside the case. This articulated mechanism permits mounting on the door the unit comprising the case (1) and the knob (3) by a simple succession of horizontal movements of translation which may also be effected by a robot of very simple design.
