Molinhas (read Moliņas) ... not Molina ;) . It means (little) springs = muelitas.
Nothing to do with the Patilha system.
Some Portuguese development, operating with a hammer 'rest' on the outside and a special spring in the inside.
Here are and early one from the XVII century and one from the XVIII century, made by the great Master Verissimo de Meira.
