An operating mechanism for the panel comprises a plate-shaped link, which is connected to the panel at the location of at least one point of attachment via an at least substantially vertical lip on the underside of the panel. The link and the lip are provided with a hole for allowing passage of a fixing element therethrough. The link includes two plate members at least at the location of the point of attachment, between which the lip of the closure element is accommodated.
