Abstract

Ce dispositif comprend une première portée de retenue axiale (6c) solidaire de la boíte (1), adjacente à un siège cylindrique (6b), une seconde portée de retenue axiale (7a1) opposée formée par une face d'une rainure annulaire (7a) solidaire de la lunette (7), un élément de retenue annulaire (9) en polymère prenant appui contre chacune desdites portées (6c, 7a1), ladite première portée (6c) étant adjacente à la base d'une surface conique (6a), solidaire de la boíte (1), pour l'introduction axiale dudit élément de retenue annulaire (9) en prise avec ladite rainure annulaire (7a). Ledit élément de retenue annulaire (9) forme un anneau sans fin dont la section est divisée en direction radiale en deux parties (9a, 9b) dont l'une présente, perpendiculairement au plan dudit anneau sans fin, une épaisseur sensiblement plus faible que l'autre, ces deux parties (9a, 9b) étant destinées à coopérer respectivement avec lesdites première (6c) et seconde (7a1) portées.

This device comprises a first axial retaining surface (6c) integral with the box (1), adjacent to a cylindrical seat (6b), a second opposite axial retaining surface (7a 1 ) formed by a face of an annular groove ( 7a) integral with the bezel (7), an annular retaining element (9) of polymer bearing against each of said bearing surfaces (6c, 7a 1 ), said first bearing surface (6c) being adjacent to the base of a conical surface ( 6a), integral with the box (1), for the axial insertion of said annular retaining element (9) engaged with said annular groove (7a). Said annular retaining element (9) forms an endless ring whose section is divided in a radial direction into two parts (9a, 9b) one of which, perpendicular to the plane of said endless ring, a thickness substantially smaller than the other, these two parts (9a, 9b) being intended to cooperate respectively with said first (6c) and second (7a 1 ) carried.
