The roller has an anti-overbanking wall in which a notch is formed, in a region adjacent to the pin. The pallets, the roller and the pin are conformed and dimensioned in such a manner that, in the service position, the anti-overbanking wall is able to define an abutment for the first and second horns, and each of the horns is able to penetrate to the interior of the notch exclusively when the pin is at least partly situated in the entry of the pallet fork.
