ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a latch (1) provided for joining two elements to one another via, on the one hand, a hook (2) capable of coming into contact with a retaining element (18) integrally connected to the first element and, on the other, via a main pin (3) to be attached in a fixed manner to the second element. Said latch has a handle (6) that is mounted so that it can pivot about an end pin (13) and has an articulation having a pair of compression links (4) mounted in a manner that enables them to pivot about the main pin (3) and about an intermediate pin (14). The invention is characterized in that the hook is inserted between the handle and the main pin, and in that at least one compression link (4) is provided with a guiding means (21) capable of coming into contact with the surface of the hook facing the handle during the opening of the latch.
