Abstract:
A device for attaching the end of a strap-like member to an object, comprising a housing (1, 16, 31) provided with two latch pins (3, 18, 33) adapted to be received in facing recesses of the object, one of these pins being able to occupy two positions, a first position in which it protrudes from said housing to come to engage in one of said recesses of the object, and a second position in which it is retracted, biasing means (4, 19, 32) tending to return this pin into one of these two positions, and a movable control member (10, 20, 35) accessible from outside the housing (1, 16, 31) associated with a cam (10b, 20a, 35b) for moving this pin (3, 18, 33) into the other of said positions against the action of said biasing means (4, 19, 32), characterised by the fact that the pin (3, 18, 33) able to occupy two positions is slidably mounted along a common axis of the two pins (3, 18, 33), and the movable control member (10, 20, 35) is solid with said cam (10b, 20a, 35b) engaging with the inner end (39, 18b, 34) of one of the pins (10b, 20b, 35b), which inner end is applied against this cam (10b, 20b, 35b) by said biasing means (14, 19, 32) such that movement of said control member (10, 20, 31) brings this pin (3, 18, 33) into the other of said positions against the pressure exerted by said biasing means (4, 19, 32).
