Abstract

The connector consists of two half-connectors 1,2 capable of being assembled, in which are fixed the bosses 102, 202 of the ways to be fitted together. At least one of the half-connectors comprises elastic fixing devices for the bosses, each device being independent of the fixing devices for the neighbouring bosses. The mechanical tolerances are such that all the bosses are elastically held against one another after the half-connectors have been assembled. <IMAGE>
