  • the axes X14 and X18 may be inclined by 10° or 20° relative to the axis X1.
  • the axes X14 and X18 may be perpendicular to the axis X1, both respectively situated on either side of the plane Pm10. In that case, preferably, the part 17 of the orifice is situated toward the bottom of the nose 12 , while the part 18 is situated toward the top 4 of the nose 12 .
  • the orifices 24 formed in the lugs 23 may include reinforced shoulders and/or thermal treatments of the contact areas with the key 50 and the nut 60 , so as to have an increased surface hardness and facilitate locking of the device 30 in the locked configuration B.
  • the nut 60 and the orifice 20 for receiving that nut 60 on the side 6 may be configured in any manner suitable for the present application, by allowing the screw 50 to be screwed in the tapping 65 to go from the insertion configuration A to the locked configuration B.
  • a metal insert may be arranged between the sheath 40 and the key 50 , or may be molded directly in the wall 43 .
  • connection device may be adapted in terms of cost and performance.
