Abstract

Des moyens élastiques d'assemblage (3) associés à au moins une face latérale de l'un des organes à assembler (2, 5, 1) sont mis en prise par déformation élastique avec un élément de fixation à cran (2a) solidaire de l'autre organe à assembler. Ces moyens élastiques d'assemblage sont un élément allongé (3). La face latérale d'assemblage à laquelle il est associé présente un logement allongé (1a) pour le recevoir, celui-ci formant une ouverture latérale dans la face latérale d'assemblage, à travers laquelle une portion latérale de sa paroi fait saillie pour se trouver dans la trajectoire de l'élément de fixation à cran, pour permettre l'accrochage de cet élément de fixation à cran (2a), au moins une des faces de ce dernier étant conformée pour maintenir l'élément allongé (3) sous contrainte élastique, et étant orientée pour décomposer la force exercée sur lui en une composante qui tend à maintenir les organes assemblés.

Figure imgaf001
Elastic assembly means (3) associated with at least one lateral face of one of the members to be assembled (2, 5, 1) are engaged by elastic deformation with a notch fastening element (2a) integral with the other organ to assemble. These elastic assembly means are an elongated element (3). The assembly side face with which it is associated has an elongate housing (1a) for receiving it, the latter forming a lateral opening in the lateral assembly face, through which a lateral portion of its wall projects to find in the trajectory of the notch fastening element, to allow attachment of this notch fastening element (2a), at least one of the faces of the latter being shaped to maintain the elongated element (3) under stress elastic, and being oriented to decompose the force exerted on it into a component that tends to maintain the assembled organs.
