Abstract
The present invention relates to a lock-fixing device of an apparatus designed to be mounted in a rack, and relates in particular to the fixing of radio electric or electronic apparatus, with the aid of a fixing of the 'lock' type. The fixing device applies in a particularly advantageous manner to a so-called 'onboard' apparatus. The fixing device includes first and second fixing elements secured respectively to the apparatus and the rack. The first element is moved by the operation of a handle in order to interact with the other element to fix the apparatus in the rack. The fixing device includes a mechanism for locking the handle. According to the invention, the handle () has a gripping member connected to a handle body situated on one side of the apparatus. The locking mechanism has a sliding hook serving as an abutment to the handle body in the locked position.
