Patent ID: 8573934

Claim:
A locking device designed to be placed in a junction zone of a nacelle, the locking device comprising: a locking system, designed to be mounted on a first half-shell of the nacelle, interacting with a retention member designed to be mounted on a second half-shell, the locking system being able to be actuated between a locked state and an unlocked state relative to the retention member, the locking system and the retention member being able to be moved relative to one another between a drawn-together position of the latter in which they can be locked relative to one another and a separated position of the latter, the locking system and/or the retention member comprising immobilization means, designed to allow the locking of the locking system relative to the retention member when the latter are in the drawn-together position, and to prevent their locking when the latter are in the separated position, the locking system comprising a hook capable of engaging with the retention member, and an operating member interacting with the hook so as to achieve the engagement or the disengagement of the latter relative to the retention member when the operating member is actuated, wherein the immobilization means comprise linking means connected to the operating member and moved when the latter is actuated, and a member forming a movable stop that can be moved between an immobilization position in which the linking means rest against the member forming the movable stop when the operating member is actuated, and a release position in which the member forming the movable stop is separated from the trajectory of the linking means when the operating member is actuated, the member forming a movable stop being fitted with at least one actuation lug having an actuation end, the retention member comprising at least one pin the free end of which rests against the actuation end of the lug, in the drawn-together position of the locking system and of the retention member, in order to move the member forming a movable stop to the release position.
