DEF

Ressorts hélicoïdaux parallèles, recouverts de tissu. Des crochets les relient à chacune des extrémités. Ces bandes sont fixées au sac et elles forcent les rabats supérieur et inférieur, ainsi que les rabats latéraux, à s'écarter dès que l'on accroche la poignée de commande. Chaque bande d'ouverture constitue un ensemble distinct.
