  • the sets 51 comprise permanent fixing devices 39 (a pin 41 fixed by welding on a sleeve 43) alternating with devices 53 'of non-permanent fixing removable (pin 52') and / or devices 53 permanently non-removable fixing (pin 52).
  • pin 43 no longer has a second end of smaller cross section than the main part. It is therefore understood that the section narrowing of the portion 12 relative to the portion 10 of the pin 11 is only optional in the first type of assortment 21. This narrowing of the part 12 is therefore guided solely by the possibly too small dimensions of the lateral parts 3, 5, 33, 35 'which make it necessary to narrow the dimensions of the fastening device 9.
  • first and second locking means 8, 18 may be of different natures than devices of the tapping type 15, 25 - thread 16, 26 and / or not be of the same type with respect to each other .
  • first and / or the second locking means could also be formed by bayonet type devices between said at least one blind recess of the first and second parts, the pin and the socket for fixing. durable and low stress for the first and second parts as the devices of the type tapping - net.
  • said at least one third piece 7, 35, 37 ', 37 may thus comprise several pieces 35, 37', 37 to form the through-hole 6. It is thus clear that said at least one third piece may comprise between 1 and several tens of pieces between each side piece 3, 5, 33, 35 '. Alternatively, said at least one third piece may comprise only one piece of more complex geometry such as, for example, a single piece forming parts 37, 35 and 37 'in a single piece.
