L'écrou de fixation 6 comprend un organe taraudé 14, ainsi qu'une bride 16.  The fixing nut 6 comprises a threaded member 14 and a flange 16.

L'écrou de fixation 6 définit une extrémité proximale 18, tournée vers la patte 4 et formant une surface de serrage, ainsi qu'une extrémité distale 20 tournée à l'opposé de la patte 4. La surface de serrage porte contre la structure 2.  The fixing nut 6 defines a proximal end 18, turned towards the tab 4 and forming a clamping surface, as well as a distal end 20 facing away from the tab 4. The clamping surface bears against the structure 2 .

L'organe taraudé 14 est fabriqué en métal par exemple en acier.  The threaded member 14 is made of metal, for example steel.

L'organe taraudé 14 a une forme de révolution autour d'un axe central X-X. Les expressions extérieur et intérieur seront utilisées par la suite par rapport à la direction radiale de cet axe.  The threaded member 14 has a shape of revolution about a central axis X-X. The expressions outside and inside will be used thereafter relative to the radial direction of this axis.

L'organe taraudé 14 est muni d'un taraudage central 15 22 traversant, qui se raccorde, côté proximal, à une partie biseautée 24.  The threaded member 14 is provided with a central thread 22 through which is connected proximally to a beveled portion 24.

L'organe taraudé 14 est muni d'une collerette 26 radialement extérieure, qui est disposée entièrement entre l'extrémité proximale 18 et l'extrémité distale 20 et à distance de celles-ci. Entre l'extrémité proximale 18 et la collerette 26, l'organe taraudé 14 comporte une première surface 27 cylindrique extérieure à section circulaire et ayant un premier diamètre extérieur Dl. Entre la collerette 26 et l'extrémité distale 20, l'organe taraudé 14 comporte une seconde surface 28 cylindrique extérieure à section circulaire ayant un deuxième diamètre extérieur D2, qui est inférieur au premier diamètre Dl.  The threaded member 14 is provided with a radially outer collar 26, which is disposed entirely between the proximal end 18 and the distal end 20 and at a distance therefrom.

Between the flange 26 and the distal end 20, the threaded member 14 comprises a second circular cylindrical outer surface 28 having a second outer diameter D2, which is smaller than the first diameter D1.

La bride 16 est fabriquée en une matière à base d'un matériau thermoplastique, de préférence en polyamide, et notamment en une matière à base d'un matériau thermoplastique chargé ou non. La bride est par exemple fabriquée en polyamide 6.6 30 FV.  The flange 16 is made of a material based on a thermoplastic material, preferably polyamide, and in particular a material based on a thermoplastic material loaded or not. The flange is for example made of polyamide 6.6 30 FV.

La bride 16 s'étend uniquement sur une partie axiale de l'organe taraudé 14, de telle sorte que l'extrémité distale de l'organe 14 dépasse la bride 16. L'extrémité proximale de la bride 16 affleure l'extrémité proximale de l'organe 14 en formant la surface de serrage.  The flange 16 extends only over an axial portion of the threaded member 14, so that the distal end of the member 14 protrudes from the flange 16. The proximal end of the flange 16 is flush with the proximal end of the flange 16. the member 14 forming the clamping surface.

La bride 16 comporte une surface intérieure 29 formant une rainure 30. Ainsi, l'organe taraudé 14 et la bride 16 sont fixés l'un à l'autre axialement par complémentarité de formes de la collerette 26 et de la rainure 30.  The flange 16 has an inner surface 29 forming a groove 30. Thus, the threaded member 14 and the flange 16 are fixed to each other axially by complementary shapes of the flange 26 and the groove 30.

Comme il ressort des Figures 2 et 3, le contour extérieur de la bride 16, en vue axiale, est non circulaire, de telle sorte que la bride 16 définit des surfaces planes d'application 34 à la structure 2, empêchant une rotation de l'écrou 6 lors du montage.  As is apparent from Figures 2 and 3, the outer contour of the flange 16, in axial view, is non-circular, so that the flange 16 defines planar surfaces of application 34 to the structure 2, preventing a rotation of the nut 6 during assembly.

L'écrou 6 est fabriqué par surmoulage de la bride 16 15 en matière plastique autour de l'organe taraudé 14.  The nut 6 is made by overmolding the plastic flange 16 15 around the threaded member 14.

L'écrou selon l'invention présente les avantages suivants.  The nut according to the invention has the following advantages.

Grâce à l'utilisation de matière plastique pour la bride 16, l'écrou selon l'invention présente un poids 20 faible, et un faible coût.  By using plastic material for the flange 16, the nut according to the invention has a low weight, and a low cost.

La matière POLYAMIDE 6.6 30 FV a une bonne résistance à la chaleur, une bonne résistance à l'abrasion et une bonne tenue aux agents chimiques.  The POLYAMIDE 6.6 30 FV material has good heat resistance, good abrasion resistance and good resistance to chemical agents.

Grâce à l'utilisation de l'organe taraudé 14 en métal, l'écrou 6 a une bonne résistance mécanique.  Through the use of the threaded member 14 of metal, the nut 6 has a good mechanical strength.

Grâce à la disposition particulière des surfaces 27 et 28 ainsi que de la collerette 26, les contraintes dans la bride 16 sont faibles, assurant un bon maintien de la bride 16 sur l'organe taraudé 14.  Thanks to the particular arrangement of the surfaces 27 and 28 as well as the flange 26, the stresses in the flange 16 are small, ensuring a good retention of the flange 16 on the threaded member 14.
