- the metal plate PM comprises a rear portion PRP, which is placed in the bottom of the cavity (in the vicinity of the central opening 01), and a front portion PVP, which is located just before the inner face of the mask M (when it is planned) or just before the inner face of the ice (in the absence of a mask).
- the ice is usually placed in front of at least the first reflector R1 and that the optional mask is interposed between the ice and at least the second reflector R2.
- the ice and the possible mask M are secured to the main wall PP.
- the main wall PP and the metal plate PM respectively comprise first MF1j and second MF2j fixing means which cooperate together, for the purpose of securing them to one another by plating. under stress, without the PVP front portion of the metal plate PM is in contact with the inner face of the mask or ice.
- first MF1j and second MF2j fixing means which cooperate together, for the purpose of securing them to one another by plating.
- the second fixing means MF2j can be arranged in the form of at least two pressed elastic tabs.
- the use of elastic tabs is particularly advantageous because it makes it possible to catch up possible games induced by local dimensional variations.
- the metal plate PM could comprise two, three or five, or even more than five second attachment means MF2j.
- the four second fixing means MF2j are respectively defined on the peripheral edge of the metal plate PM, in four different zones Zj.
- the first Z1 and second Z2 areas are located in the front portion PVP of the metal plate PM, while the third Z3 and fourth Z4 areas are located in the rear portion PRP of the metal plate PM.
- the respective orientations and shapes of the elastic tabs MF2j depend on the locations where the second corresponding fastening means MF1j of the main wall PP are defined.
- the first elastic tab MF21 (see FIGS. 3, 5 and 6) is folded towards the lower face F1 of the metal plate PM, which is oriented towards the second reflector R2, while the second MF22 (see figures 3, 4 and 7), third MF23 (see figures 3, 4 and 10), and fourth MF24 (see figures
- elastic tabs are inclined on the side of the upper face FS of the metal plate PM, which is oriented towards the first reflector R1.
- the elastic tabs MF2j may comprise at least one local deformation DL, preferably semi-spherical (for example half-spheres), intended to promote their plating. against a part of the corresponding first fixing means MF1j.

- the fourth elastic tab MF24 comprises a first local deformation (semi -special) DL concave type and a second deformation local (semi-spherical) DL convex type (for stressing of the metal plate PM in the first direction D1 in two opposite directions).
- the number of local deformations of each elastic tab MF2j may be equal to one or two or even three.
- other forms can be envisaged for local deformations DL.
- they can be pyramidal (possibly truncated), for example.
- the local deformations DL may possibly vary from one elastic tab MF2j to another MF2j '.
- the first fastening means MF1j are arranged to cooperate respectively with the different (at least two) second fixing means MF2j corresponding.
- the first fixing means MF1j may advantageously be in the form of housings (or cavities). This makes it possible to mask at least some of the elastic tabs MF2j, thus making them invisible from outside the optical block BO.
