Hi there,
I’m thinking of translating this as “catch” but would like confirmation on this :)
Here is the context:
Avantageusement, le mécanisme à rochet comporte une réglette solidaire de l’élément plastiquement déformable et coopérant avec un cliquet mobile.
My translation :
Advantageously, the ratchet mechanism comprises a strip secured to the plastically deformable element and cooperating with a mobile catch
