Abstract

The support (1), designed to hold a component (30) in place in a structure (40), has two ends (5, 6) with trough-section recesses shaped to engage with opposite zones (7, 8) on either side of an aperture (2) in the structure, and a central portion with a hole to receive the component. The recesses in the support ends are of different depths, e.g. 13 and 5mm respectively, permitting a greater or lesser movement relative to the structure during fitting and ensuring that it is held in place in the aperture afterwards. The support is made in one piece from a substantially rigid material.

Support 1 may include other additional ends contributing to position the support 1 at the level of an opening. The opposite ends 5 and 6 are each shaped male or female type socket. The example of support 1 in the figure 1 has two opposite ends 5 and 6 in the form of nesting female type. But the support 1 can also have a shaped end male type socket and the other end in the form of a socket female type, or both ends in the form of socket type male in which case these are the two zones 7 and 8 represented in FIG. 2 which would be of the female type and the depths of these two zones 7 and 8 could be substantially different. The two opposite ends 5 and 6 respectively have depths p1 and p2 preferably different. The size of the support 1 is represented by a length L. The length L is the distance from the end, on the periphery side of the support, of a end to end, periphery side of the support, the other end. Sure the example of support 1 represented in FIG. 1, the mean plane of support 1 is the plane perpendicular to the plane of figure 1 and containing the part intermediate 3.

    La figure 2 représente schématiquement en coupe et de profil un type d'ouverture 2 appartenant à une structure selon l'invention. Les pointillés signifient que l'ouverture 2 est rattachée à une structure non représentée sur la figure 2. L'ouverture 2 de taille h comporte par exemple dans sa partie centrale un trou 9. Si le trou est par exemple de forme circulaire, h sera le diamètre du trou. L'ouverture peut aussi comporter plusieurs autres trous. L'ouverture 2 comporte des zones 7 et 8 permettant le positionnement d'un support 1 au niveau du trou 9 de l'ouverture 2. Le trou 9 se trouve entre les deux zones 7 et 8 qui sont appelées zones opposées. La taille h est la distance qu'il y a du bout, côté centre de l'ouverture, d'une zone au bout, côté centre de l'ouverture, de l'autre zone. Figure 2 shows schematically in section and in profile a type of opening 2 belonging to a structure according to the invention. The dotted means that the opening 2 is attached to a structure not represented in FIG. 2. The opening 2 of size h comprises for example in its central part a hole 9. If the hole is for example of shape circular, h will be the diameter of the hole. The opening can also include several other holes. The opening 2 has zones 7 and 8 allowing positioning of a support 1 at the hole 9 of the opening 2. The hole 9 is located between the two zones 7 and 8 which are called zones opposite. Size h is the distance from the end, center side of the opening, from one area at the end, center side of the opening, from the other area.

    Les figure 3 à 4 représentent schématiquement dans différentes positions un ensemble constitué d'un support 1 et d'une structure comprenant une ouverture 2 selon l'invention. Sur les figures 3 et 4, le support 1 est emboíté, au moins partiellement, dans l'ouverture 2.Figures 3 to 4 schematically represent in different positions a set consisting of a support 1 and a structure comprising an opening 2 according to the invention. In Figures 3 and 4, the support 1 is fitted, at least partially, in the opening 2.

    Dans la première position sur la figure 3, est représentée l'interpénétration de l'extrémité 5 du type femelle, c'est-à-dire en forme d'emboítement du type femelle, et de la zone 7 correspondante du type mâle. L'emboítement a une direction D1. La profondeur maximale de cette interpénétration est appelée course d'emboítement. La grande course d'emboítement gce est suffisamment grande pour que la taille L du support diminuée de la grande course d'emboítement gce soit inférieure à la taille h de l'ouverture. Ainsi, l'extrémité 5 peut être emboítée dans la zone 7 correspondante tout en permettant à l'extrémité 6 de se retrouver en correspondance avec la zone 8 correspondante, l'extrémité 6 et la zone 8 correspondante étant séparées d'une distance d1 valant d1=h+gce-L.In the first position in Figure 3, is shown the interpenetration of the end 5 of the female type, that is to say in shape female type socket, and the corresponding zone 7 of the type male. The nesting has a direction D1. The maximum depth of this interpenetration is called interlocking stroke. The great race of fitting gce is large enough that the size L of the support minus the large nesting stroke gce is less than the size h of the opening. Thus, the end 5 can be fitted into the zone 7 while allowing end 6 to end up in correspondence with the corresponding zone 8, the end 6 and the zone 8 corresponding being separated by a distance d1 equal to d1 = h + gce-L.

    Dans la deuxième position sur la figure 4, est représentée l'interpénétration de l'extrémité 6 du type femelle, c'est-à-dire en forme d'emboítement du type femelle, et de la zone 8 correspondante du type mâle. L'emboítement a une direction D2. La petite course d'emboítement pce est suffisamment petite pour que la taille du support L diminuée de la petite course d'emboítement pce soit supérieure à la taille h de l'ouverture. Ainsi, l'extrémité 6 peut être emboítée dans la zone 8 correspondante tout en permettant à l'extrémité 5 de rester emboítée, au moins partiellement, dans la zone 7 correspondante, l'extrémité 5 et la zone 7 correspondante restant emboítées sur une distance d2 valant d2=L-h-pce.In the second position in Figure 4, is shown the interpenetration of the end 6 of the female type, that is to say in shape socket type female, and the corresponding zone 8 of the type male. The nesting has a direction D2. The little interlocking race pce is small enough that the size of the support L minus the small interlocking stroke pce is greater than the size h of the opening. Thus, the end 6 can be fitted into the corresponding zone 8 while allowing the end 5 to remain fitted, at least partially, in the corresponding zone 7, the end 5 and the corresponding zone 7 remaining nested over a distance d2 equal to d2 = L-h-pce.

    De préférence, l'extrémité 5 et la zone 7 correspondante auxquelles est associée la grande course d'emboítement présentent un espace de débattement e en position emboítée pour faciliter, surtout si le support 1 est substantiellement rigide, les mouvements relatifs entre le support 1 et l'ouverture 2, mouvements entraínés par l'emboítement de l'extrémité 5 et de la zone 7 correspondante d'une part et par l'emboítement de l'extrémité 6 et de la zone 8 correspondante d'autre part. Préférentiellement, pour un emboítement encore plus stable du support 1 dans l'ouverture 2, l'extrémité 6 et la zone 8 correspondante auxquelles est associée la petite course emboítement, ne présentent pas d'espace de débattement en position emboítée, ils s'emboítent « au plus juste ».Preferably, the end 5 and the corresponding zone 7 associated with the large interlocking race have a travel space e in the nested position to facilitate, especially if the support 1 is substantially rigid, the relative movements between the support 1 and opening 2, movements caused by the interlocking of the end 5 and the corresponding zone 7 on the one hand and by the socket from the end 6 and the corresponding zone 8 on the other hand. Preferably, for an even more stable nesting of the support 1 in the opening 2, the end 6 and the corresponding zone 8 to which is associated with the small interlocking stroke, do not have a space travel in the nested position, they fit together "as tightly as possible".

    Les figures 5 à 9 représentent schématiquement les étapes d'un procédé de montage préférentiel selon l'invention. Ce procédé de montage se décompose en une séquence de plusieurs étapes, chaque figure représentant une étape. Les plans moyens du support 1 et de l'ouverture 2 sont perpendiculaires au plan des figures 5 à 9.Figures 5 to 9 schematically represent the steps of a preferred mounting method according to the invention. This mounting process breaks down into a sequence of several stages, each figure representing a step. The medium shots of support 1 and opening 2 are perpendicular to the plane of Figures 5 to 9.

    La figure 5 représente la première étape du procédé de montage. Cette étape consiste à incliner le support 1 par rapport au plan de l'ouverture. Aux extrémités 5 et 6 du support 1 sont respectivement associées une grande et une petite course emboítement. Le support 1 porte de préférence un composant 30. Le composant 30 est par exemple une électrovanne 30 à laquelle peut être relié un ou plusieurs tuyaux 31 représentés en traits pointillés. Supposons que le plan de l'ouverture soit à la verticale sur la figure 5 et perpendiculaire au plan de la figure 5, le composant 30 doit être incliné dans le sens des flèches.Figure 5 shows the first step in the mounting process. This step consists in tilting the support 1 relative to the plane of the opening. At the ends 5 and 6 of the support 1 are respectively associated a large and a small interlocking stroke. The support 1 door preferably a component 30. Component 30 is for example a solenoid valve 30 to which one or more pipes 31 can be connected shown in dotted lines. Suppose that the plane of the opening is at the vertical in Figure 5 and perpendicular to the plane of Figure 5, the component 30 must be tilted in the direction of the arrows.

    La figure 6 représente la deuxième étape du procédé de montage. Cette étape consiste à réaliser un premier emboítement de l'extrémité 5 du support 1 dans la zone 7 correspondante de l'ouverture 2. L'ouverture 2 appartient à une structure 40. La structure 40 est par exemple le soubassement d'un lave-vaisselle. Le support 1 est introduit dans l'ouverture 2 dans le sens de la flèche. Dans la première étape, le support 1 avait été incliné suffisamment pour permettre la réalisation de ce premier emboítement.Figure 6 shows the second step of the mounting process. This step consists in making a first fitting of the end 5 of the support 1 in the corresponding zone 7 of the opening 2. The opening 2 belongs to a structure 40. The structure 40 is for example the base of a dishwasher. Support 1 is inserted into the opening 2 in the direction of the arrow. In the first step, support 1 had been tilted enough to allow the realization of this first interlocking.

    La figure 7 représente la troisième étape du procédé de montage. Cette étape consiste à redresser le support 1 dans le plan de l'ouverture 2. Le support 1 pivote dans le sens de la flèche pour que l'extrémité 6 soit placée en correspondance avec la zone 8 correspondante. Pour permettre le redressement du support 1 de manière à ce que l'extrémité 6 soit placée en correspondance avec la zone 8 avant de pouvoir procéder à l'emboítement de l'extrémité 6 dans la zone 8 correspondante, il faut d'une part que la taille du support 1 ne soit pas trop grande et d'autre part que la grande course d'emboítement ne soit pas trop petite. L'extrémité 5 et la zone 6 correspondante présentent préférentiellement un débattement e pour permettre le redressement du support 1, surtout dans le cas où le support 1 est substantiellement rigide.Figure 7 shows the third step in the mounting process. This step consists in straightening the support 1 in the plane of the opening 2. The support 1 pivots in the direction of the arrow so that the end 6 is placed in correspondence with the corresponding zone 8. To allow the straightening of the support 1 so that the end 6 is placed in correspondence with zone 8 before being able to proceed to nesting from the end 6 in the corresponding zone 8, on the one hand, the size of the support 1 is not too large and on the other hand that the large stroke nesting is not too small. End 5 and zone 6 preferably have a travel e for allow the straightening of the support 1, especially in the case where the support 1 is substantially rigid.

    La figure 8 représente la quatrième étape du procédé de montage. Cette étape consiste à réaliser un deuxième emboítement de l'extrémité 6 dans la zone 8 correspondante. Le support 1 est emboíté au niveau de son extrémité 6 dans la zone 8 correspondante de l'ouverture 2 en suivant le mouvement de la flèche. Pour que l'ensemble constitué par le support 1 et l'ouverture 2 présente une meilleure stabilité, l'extrémité 6 et la zone 8 correspondante ne présentent pas d'espace de débattement en position emboítée. Le support 1 et l'ouverture 2 sont ainsi mieux bloqués l'un par rapport à l'autre au niveau de l'extrémité 6 et la zone 8 correspondante.FIG. 8 represents the fourth step of the method of mounting. This step consists in carrying out a second interlocking of the end 6 in the corresponding zone 8. The support 1 is fitted to the level of its end 6 in the corresponding zone 8 of the opening 2 in following the movement of the arrow. So that the whole constituted by the support 1 and the opening 2 has better stability, the end 6 and the corresponding zone 8 do not have clearance space in nested position. The support 1 and the opening 2 are thus better blocked one relative to each other at the end 6 and the corresponding zone 8.

    D'une part la taille du support 1 est suffisamment petite et d'autre part la grande course emboítement gce est suffisamment grande pour rendre possible ce deuxième emboítement. Par ailleurs, d'une part la taille du support 1 est suffisamment grande et d'autre part la petite course emboítement pce est suffisamment petite pour que le premier emboítement reste au moins partiellement maintenu après la réalisation du deuxième emboítement. Ainsi dans le cas de la figure 8, l'extrémité 5 reste partiellement en appui contre la zone 7 correspondante.On the one hand the size of the support 1 is sufficiently small and on the other hand apart the large interlocking stroke gce is large enough to make this second nest possible. On the other hand, the size of the support 1 is sufficiently large and on the other hand the small stroke pc fitting is small enough that the first fitting remains at least partially maintained after completion of the second interlocking. So in the case of Figure 8, the end 5 remains partially resting against the corresponding zone 7.

    La figure 9 représente une étape supplémentaire et préférentielle du procédé de montage. Cette étape de blocage consiste à bloquer le support 1 dans l'ouverture 2 lorsque le support 1 est emboíté dans l'ouverture 2. Pour cela un élément de blocage 50 est fixé, par exemple par une vis. Sur la figure 9, l'élément de blocage 50 est une masse de lestage qui empêche à la fois le débattement de l'extrémité 5 dans la zone 7 correspondante et le déboítement de l'extrémité 6 hors de la zone 8 correspondante. L'élément de blocage 50 empêche le support 1 de ressortir de l'ouverture 2. Cet élément de blocage 50 pourrait aussi être un autre type d'élément de blocage monté latéralement ou verticalement. Le support 1 peut également rester bloquer par d'autres moyens, par exemple par le poids du composant 30 porté par le support 1 le cas échéant. Le support 1 peut ainsi même être rendu immobile comme sur la figure 9 par exemple si l'élément de blocage 50 est en appui sur le support 1. Cette immobilisation complète est particulièrement avantageuse dans le cas d'un support 1 monté sur une ouverture 2 appartenant à un appareil vibrant, par exemple un lave-vaisselle sur lequel est monté un support d'électrovanne.Figure 9 shows an additional and preferred step of the mounting process. This blocking step consists in blocking the support 1 in the opening 2 when the support 1 is fitted in the opening 2. For this, a blocking element 50 is fixed, for example by a screw. In FIG. 9, the blocking element 50 is a ballast mass which prevents both end 5 travel in zone 7 corresponding and the disengagement of the end 6 out of the zone 8 corresponding. The locking element 50 prevents the support 1 from coming out of the opening 2. This blocking element 50 could also be another type blocking element mounted laterally or vertically. Support 1 can also become blocked by other means, for example by weight of component 30 carried by support 1 if necessary. Support 1 can even be made stationary as in Figure 9 for example if the locking element 50 is supported on the support 1. This immobilization complete is particularly advantageous in the case of a support 1 mounted on an opening 2 belonging to a vibrating device, for example a dishwasher on which is mounted a solenoid valve support.

    Concernant l'ensemble constitué d'un support 1 et d'une structure 40 comprenant une ouverture 2, le procédé de montage du support 1 sur l'ouverture 2, le support 1 en tant que tel ou la structure comprenant l'ouverture 2 en tant que telle, d'autres particularités et avantages sont décrits ci-dessous.Regarding the assembly consisting of a support 1 and a structure 40 comprising an opening 2, the method of mounting the support 1 on the opening 2, the support 1 as such or the structure comprising opening 2 as such, other special features and advantages are described below.

    Les directions d'emboítement des deux extrémités 5 et 6 opposées, qui sont les directions d'emboítement D1 et D2 des deux extrémités 5 et 6 opposées dans les zones 7 et 8 opposées correspondantes, sont préférentiellement sensiblement parallèles au plan moyen du support 1. De même, les directions d'emboítement des deux zones 7 et 8 opposées, sont préférentiellement sensiblement parallèles au plan moyen de l'ouverture 2. Sur les figures 3 et 4, les directions emboítement D1 et D2 sont représentées et les plans moyens du support 1 et de l'ouverture 2 sont confondus. Ce parallélisme des directions emboítement avec les plans moyens du support 1 et de l'ouverture 2 rend l'ensemble plus simple. Le terme sensiblement parallèle signifie que plus le parallélisme est rigoureux, plus le support 1 sera dans l'ouverture 2, et plus l'ensemble obtenu sera simple et peu encombrant.The nesting directions of the two ends 5 and 6 opposite, which are the nesting directions D1 and D2 of the two opposite ends 5 and 6 in opposite zones 7 and 8 corresponding, are preferably substantially parallel to the plane support means 1. Similarly, the directions of nesting of the two opposite zones 7 and 8 are preferably substantially parallel to the mean plane of the opening 2. In FIGS. 3 and 4, the directions interlocking D1 and D2 are shown and the medium planes of the support 1 and opening 2 are combined. This parallelism of directions interlocking with the medium planes of the support 1 and the opening 2 makes the whole more simple. The term substantially parallel means that the higher the rigorous parallelism, the more the support 1 will be in the opening 2, and more the assembly obtained will be simple and compact.

    Lorsque le support 1 portant le composant 30 est emboíté dans l'ouverture 2 de la structure 40, le support 1 bouche de préférence l'ouverture 2. Le support 1 peut ainsi par exemple porter l'électrovanne 30 tout en fermant le soubassement du lave-vaisselle.When the support 1 carrying the component 30 is fitted in the opening 2 of the structure 40, the support 1 mouth preferably the opening 2. The support 1 can thus for example carry the solenoid valve 30 while closing the base of the dishwasher.

    La partie intermédiaire 3 du support 1 comporte de préférence un trou 4 débouchant destiné à porter un composant 30. Le composant 30 est alors avantageusement un composant 30 de raccordement dont les parties constituantes sont situées de part et d'autre du support 1. Un exemple en est l'électrovanne 30 qui relie les tuyaux internes au lave-vaisselle aux tuyaux externes d'arrivée ou d'évacuation d'eau.The intermediate part 3 of the support 1 preferably comprises a through hole 4 intended to carry a component 30. Component 30 is then advantageously a connection component 30 whose parts components are located on either side of support 1. An example is the solenoid valve 30 which connects the internal pipes of the dishwasher to the pipes external water inlet or outlet.

    Le support 1 est préférentiellement substantiellement rigide. Le support 1 ne se déforme donc pas lors du montage dans l'ouverture 2. Le montage se fait par conséquent par la séquence suivante d'étapes, comme décrit plus haut sur les figures 5 à 9 : inclinaison, premier emboítement, redressement, deuxième emboítement. L'emboítement peut alors être réalisé grâce au débattement e, représenté sur les figures 4 et 7.The support 1 is preferably substantially rigid. The support 1 therefore does not deform during installation in opening 2. The mounting is therefore done by the following sequence of steps, as described above in FIGS. 5 to 9: inclination, first nesting, straightening, second interlocking. The interlocking can then be produced by the travel e, shown in FIGS. 4 and 7.

    Le support 1 peut être constitué de demi-pièces dont le plan de jonction traverse la partie intermédiaire 3. Dans la réalisation préférentielle de ce type de support décrite ci-dessous à la figure 10, le support 1 est constitué de demi-pièces dont le plan de jonction traverse la partie intermédiaire 3 et chacune des extrémités 5 et 6. Cependant un support 1 ayant un plan de jonction traversant la partie intermédiaire 3 sans traverser les extrémités 5 et 6, en traversant par exemple la partie intermédiaire 3 et les parties latérales 12, est également possible. Par ailleurs, un exemple de support monobloc est décrit à la figure 11.The support 1 can consist of half-pieces whose plane of junction crosses the intermediate part 3. In the preferred embodiment of this type of support described below in FIG. 10, the support 1 is made up of half-pieces whose junction plane crosses the part intermediate 3 and each of the ends 5 and 6. However a support 1 having a junction plane passing through the intermediate part 3 without passing through the ends 5 and 6, crossing for example the intermediate part 3 and the side parts 12, is also possible. By the way, an example of monobloc support is described in figure 11.

    L'avantage d'un support 1 monobloc tel que décrit par exemple à la figure 11 est d'être plus simple qu'un support 1 constitué de deux demi-pièces 10 et 11. Un support 1 constitué de deux demi-pièces 10 et 11 a par contre l'avantage de ne pas nécessiter un maintien manuel du composant 30 sur le support 1 lors du montage dans l'ouverture 2 de la structure 40, puisque le composant 30 monté sur le support 1 permet alors au support 1 et à au composant 30 de former un ensemble monobloc.The advantage of a one-piece support 1 as described for example in Figure 11 is to be simpler than a support 1 consisting of two half-pieces 10 and 11. A support 1 consisting of two half-pieces 10 and 11 has by against the advantage of not requiring manual maintenance of the component 30 on the support 1 during mounting in the opening 2 of the structure 40, since the component 30 mounted on the support 1 then allows the support 1 and to component 30 to form a one-piece assembly.

    Les deux extrémités 5 et 6 du support 1 sont du type femelle et les profondeurs p1 et p2 des deux extrémités 5 et 6 sont substantiellement différentes. Un support 1 de ce type est représenté sur la figure 1. Un avantage est que les zones 7 et 8 correspondantes de l'ouverture 2 restent simples car de type mâle. Il est plus facile d'aménager par exemple les formes emboítement du support 1 d'électrovanne 30 que l'ouverture 2 correspondante dans le sousbassement d'un lave-vaisselle.The two ends 5 and 6 of the support 1 are of the female type and the depths p1 and p2 of the two ends 5 and 6 are substantially different. A support 1 of this type is shown in Figure 1. A advantage is that the corresponding zones 7 and 8 of the opening 2 remain simple because of male type. It is easier to arrange for example the Interlocking forms of the solenoid valve support 1 that the opening 2 corresponding in the base of a dishwasher.

    La structure 40 comprenant l'ouverture 2 appartient généralement à un appareil. L'appareil comporte aussi un composant 30 porté par le support 1, ce composant 30 étant avantageusement un composant de raccordement, comme par exemple une électrovanne de lave-vaisselle.The structure 40 comprising the opening 2 generally belongs to a device. The apparatus also comprises a component 30 carried by the support 1, this component 30 advantageously being a component of connection, such as a dishwasher solenoid valve.

    De préférence, l'extrémité 5 et la zone 7 correspondante auxquelles est associée la grande course d'emboítement gce sont situées plus haut dans l'appareil que l'extrémité 6 et la zone 8 correspondante auxquelles est associée la petite course d'emboítement. Ainsi, le poids du composant 30 concourt à maintenir le support 1 en position emboítée dans l'ouverture 2. Afin d'immobiliser le support 1 dans l'ouverture 2, l'appareil comporte avantageusement un élément de blocage bloquant le support lorsque celui-ci est emboíté dans l'ouverture, comme expliqué ci-dessus. L'élément peut être dans ce cas une masse de lestage venant prendre appui sur le support 1.Preferably, the end 5 and the corresponding zone 7 which are associated with the large interlocking race gce are located higher in the device than the end 6 and the corresponding zone 8 which is associated with the small nesting race. So the weight of the component 30 helps maintain the support 1 in the nested position in the opening 2. In order to immobilize the support 1 in the opening 2, the apparatus advantageously comprises a blocking element blocking the support when it is fitted into the opening, as explained above. The element can in this case be a ballast mass coming to bear on the support 1.

    La figure 10 représente une vue en perspective isométrique d'un mode préférentiel de réalisation d'un support 1 selon l'invention. Le support 1 est constitué de deux demi-pièces 10 et 11 dont le plan de jonction traverse la partie intermédiaire 3 et chacune des extrémités 5 et 6, chaque demi-pièce ayant une partie de la partie intermédiaire 3, de l'extrémité 5 à laquelle est associée la grande course emboítement gce, et de l'extrémité 6 à laquelle est associée la petite course emboítement pce. Les demi-pièces 10 et 11 s'assemblent par exemple par l'intermédiaire de pions 17 correspondant à des alésages 18. Elles peuvent également comporter un clip 15 et la rainure 16 de clip correspondante.Figure 10 shows an isometric perspective view of a preferred embodiment of a support 1 according to the invention. The support 1 consists of two half-pieces 10 and 11, the junction plane of which crosses the intermediate part 3 and each of the ends 5 and 6, each half-piece having a part of the intermediate part 3, from the end 5 to which is associated with the large interlocking stroke gce, and the end 6 which is associated with the small interlocking stroke pce. Half pieces 10 and 11 are assembled for example by means of pawns 17 corresponding to bores 18. They may also include a clip 15 and the corresponding clip groove 16.

    La partie intermédiaire 3 comporte un logement 4 destiné à porter un composant 30, par exemple une électrovanne de lave-vaisselle. De part et d'autre du logement 4, la partie intermédiaire 3 comporte des rainures de blocage supérieure 13 et inférieure 14 destinées à bloquer en rotation les mouvements du composant 30 par rapport au support 1 lorsque le composant 30 est porté par le support 1. La partie intermédiaire 3 est délimitée sur les côtés par des parties latérales 12.The intermediate part 3 includes a housing 4 intended to carry a component 30, for example a dishwasher solenoid valve. Departure and on the other side of the housing 4, the intermediate part 3 has grooves of upper block 13 and lower block 14 intended to block in rotation the movements of the component 30 relative to the support 1 when the component 30 is carried by the support 1. The intermediate part 3 is delimited on the sides by lateral parts 12.

    L'extrémité 5 comporte dans sa partie supérieure une rainure 19 de blocage destinée à recevoir un élément de blocage non représenté ici, l'élément 50 sur la figure 9. En complément de la rainure 19 de blocage, afin d'obtenir un calage optimum de l'élément de blocage, l'extrémité 5 comporte aussi une partie 20 dans la demi-pièce 11 et une partie 20 dans la demi-pièce 10, l'une de ces parties au moins comportant un prolongement 21 souple permettant de supprimer les jeux existants entre l'élément de blocage et le support 1 en venant prendre appui contre l'élément de blocage.The end 5 has in its upper part a groove 19 blocking device intended to receive a blocking element not shown here, element 50 in FIG. 9. In addition to the locking groove 19, so to obtain an optimum setting of the blocking element, the end 5 comprises also part 20 in the half-piece 11 and part 20 in the half-piece 10, at least one of these parts having an extension 21 flexible allowing to eliminate the existing games between the blocking element and the support 1 coming to bear against the blocking element.

    Un exemple numérique préférentiel, correspondant à un support 1 représenté sur la figure 10 à une échelle de un en perspective isométrique, donne une profondeur d'environ 13 mm pour l'extrémité 5, une profondeur d'environ 5 mm pour l'extrémité 6, le support 1 ayant une taille de quelques centimètres, cette taille correspondant à la longueur L représentée sur la figure 1. Dans ce cas, la grande course emboítement gce sera sensiblement de 13 mm et la petite course emboítement pce sensiblement de 5 mm.A preferred digital example, corresponding to a support 1 represented in FIG. 10 on a scale of one in isometric perspective, gives a depth of about 13 mm for end 5, a depth about 5 mm for the end 6, the support 1 having a size of a few centimeters, this size corresponding to the length L shown on the figure 1. In this case, the large interlocking stroke gce will be substantially 13 mm and the small nesting stroke pce substantially 5 mm.

    La figure 11 représente une vue en coupe et de face d'un autre mode de réalisation d'un support 1 selon l'invention. Le support 1 comporte une partie intermédiaire 3 et deux extrémités 5 et 6, l'extrémité 6 étant en deux parties. L'extrémité 6 est alors associée à la petite course d'emboítement pce, ce qui permet à l'ensemble constitué par le support 1 et le composant 30 de boucher l'ouverture 2 de la structure 40 après le montage du support 1 sur la structure 40. La partie intermédiaire comporte un logement 4 destiné à recevoir le composant 30, celui-ci étant maintenu bloqué à la fois par le support 1 et par une partie de la structure 40.Figure 11 shows a sectional and front view of another embodiment of a support 1 according to the invention. Support 1 includes an intermediate part 3 and two ends 5 and 6, the end 6 being in two parts. The end 6 is then associated with the short stroke pce socket, which allows the assembly constituted by the support 1 and component 30 to plug the opening 2 of the structure 40 after the mounting the support 1 on the structure 40.
