Abstract:
1. An articulation system comprising: first and second articulations, each comprising two fittings which are pivotable relative to one another and a locking mechanism which comprises at least one control member which is mobile between a locked position and an unlocked position, the locking mechanism being capable of locking the two fittings when the control member is in the locked position and unlocking the two fittings when the control member is in the unlocked position, the control members of the two articulations being mobile independently of one another between the locked and unlocked positions and each being urged in a resilient manner into the locked position by a return member arranged between the fittings; a manoeuvring member which is mobile in rotation between a neutral position and an actuating position capable of displacing the control members of the first and second articulations from the locked position to the unlocked position when said manoeuvring member is displaced in a first direction from the neutral position to the actuating position, wherein the manoeuvring member is capable of coming to bear against both control members after at least one first predetermined angular path from the neutral position in the first direction, and wherein said manoeuvring member is returned to the neutral position by a manoeuvring member return device in a second direction opposing the first direction, so that the manoeuvring member is angularly spaced from both control members, said manoeuvring member return device being arranged in at least one of the two articulations.
