Abstract

L'invention concerne un verrou à levier (10) servant à fixer solidement un premier élément à un second élément, comme, par exemple, un panneau de fermeture à un châssis ou à un compartiment. Ce verrou (10) comprend un boîtier (11) équipé d'un levier à ressort mobile (13), et une poignée (12) munie de doigts (47, 48) permettant d'enclencher le levier (13) pour que ce dernier se désolidarise d'un élément ou d'une surface faisant office de loquet afin d'ouvrir le verrou (10). L'invention se rapporte également à un mécanisme de fermeture (15) visant à protéger le verrou (10) contre les infractions et comportant un élément de verrouillage (23) qui immobilise la poignée (12) et empêche le retrait du levier (13) au moyen de la poignée (12).
