Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
The device of the present disclosure comprises a holder ( 80 ) fixed to the first element and a connection element ( 82 ) borne by the holder ( 80 ). The connection element ( 82 ) is intended to engage on the second element ( 24 ). It is mounted with radial mobility in relation to the holder ( 80 ) between a separated placement configuration and a contracted configuration for holding the connection elements ( 82 ) on the second element ( 24 ). The or each connection element ( 82 ) comprises a self-locking system ( 100 ) and a mobile catching member ( 102 ), the catching member ( 102 ) being mounted with the ability to move in the self-locking system ( 100 ). The fixing device ( 22 ) comprises an actuator ( 104 ) for moving the catching member ( 102 ) in the self-locking system ( 100 ) between a deployed position and a position in which it is retracted in the self-locking system ( 100 ).
