Abstract

La présente invention concerne un dispositif d'assemblage servant à assembler des partenaires d'assemblage d'un véhicule et comprenant un premier partenaire d'assemblage (10) et au moins un deuxième partenaire d'assemblage (20), un dispositif de retenue (30) permettant aux partenaires d'assemblage (10, 20) d'être reliés pour former le dispositif d'assemblage. Selon l'invention, le dispositif de retenue (30) présente une structure de réception (31, 32) sur laquelle se trouve au moins un élément de collage (40) qui peut être mis dans au moins deux états. Dans un premier état, l'élément de collage (40) permet un ajustage du deuxième partenaire d'assemblage (20) sur le premier partenaire d'assemblage (10) et des moyens peuvent activer le passage du premier état à un second état dans lequel l'élément de collage (40) est durci, ce qui permet une immobilisation des partenaires d'assemblage (10, 20) l'un par rapport à l'autre.
