Abstract
A carriage acted-on by a control system controlled by a part of the gearbox, so as to be moved sideways in relation to a locking rod able to interoperate with a toothed crown built into the said gearbox, with the said carriage being coupled to means operated by an actuator so as to be moved, if necessary, into a fixed position of the control system, characterized by the fact that the means consist of two superimposed compact levers and mounted so as to pivot on an axis against a torsion spring, with one of the levers being coupled to the carriage while the other lever is coupled to the control system.
