Abstract:
1. A mechanical connection device for fixing an element to a framework or bearing structure by a fixing or connecting to an adjacent similar element by a connection, comprising: a first arm and a second arm, a first end of each arm connects to a fastener configured to be mechanically connected to a respective element, and a second end of both the first and second arms connects to a same joining piece, wherein the joining piece comprises a tubular envelope that contains an adjusting mechanism configured to adjust degrees of freedom of the fixing or of the connection, wherein the adjusting mechanism is configured to allow, once the device has been mounted, the second end of the second arm to be moved both in translation and in rotation along its axis or perpendicular to its axis, within fixed limits, wherein the second end of the first arm has an externally threaded portion and the cavity of the joining piece is tapped to allow a position of the second end to be adjusted along a longitudinal axis of the second end by screwing, wherein a longitudinal axis of the second end of the first arm is substantially coaxial with a longitudinal axis of the second end of the second arm, and wherein each fastener is housed along a longitudinal axis of a body of the first end of each arm, the longitudinal axis being substantially perpendicular to a plane of the respective element and each fastener is adjustable along the longitudinal axis.
