  10. Vorrichtung (20) nach dem vorhergehenden Anspruch, bei der der Öffnungswiderstandsmechanismus (60) einen Sperrhebel (62) umfasst, der in der Halterung (26) von einer Konfiguration zum Sperren der Bewegung des Griffs (22) zu einer Konfiguration zum Freigeben der Bewegung des Griffs (22) beweglich montiert ist, wobei der Widerstandsmechanismus (60) Mittel (64) zum elastischen Zurückstellen des Sperrhebels (62) in die Sperrkonfiguration umfasst.
