• a pre-locking device comprising a thrust piece, on at least one of the first and second limbs, configured and arranged such that the thrust piece is dislocatable between a locking position wherein the thrust piece is configured to project into the fork and to hold the eye thereon and a release position wherein the eye is released from the thrust piece,
• a main-bolt securing device dislocatable between an engaged position and a disengaged position, wherein in the engaged position, the main-bolt securing device is configured to secure the main bolt at least in one of the locked position and the unlocked position;
• and
• wherein, when the main bolt is in the unlocked position and the thrust piece is in the locking position, the eye is configured to rest in a first locking position on the thrust piece, and when the main bolt is in the unlocked position and the thrust piece is in the release position, the eye is configured to be completely released from the thrust piece.
