Good night

I'm working in the detailed design of my LSA, the CAD model, autoreply told me that the Sailplanes use the Roeger-hooks mechanism in order to ensure the cockpit will not close or twist if the pilot must open it while its flying to leave the plane and open the parachute.

I couldn't find any information about this mechanism, so I want to ask you if some one could explain me it, How does it works? How it is?

I'll really appreciate if someone could show me photos and schemes of it, in order to be able to design it to my plane.
