Abstract:
A device for assembling first and second parts exhibiting lateral positional play in a given direction, the device comprising the following that are all aligned in the given direction:a smooth through-hole in the first part; a fixing screw freely movable through said smooth through-hole and carrying a threading of a first type; a tapped through-hole of a second type on the second part opposite said smooth through-hole; and a spacer carrying an external threading of the second type able to interact with said tapped through-hole and an internal tapping of the first type able to interact with said fixing screw, a coefficient of friction between said fixing screw and said spacer being different from a coefficient of friction between said spacer and said tapped through-hole, said tapped through-hole and said spacer being linked by a frangible plastic tab.
