Abstract:
A separable fastener system for assembling an element and at least one other member via an intermediate structure, the system comprising in combination:a structure of elastically deformable material; intermediate fixing means carried by the structure for fixing the structure securely to the element; at least one positioning surface on the structure for engaging the said other member; a stud formed integrally with the structure at the positioning surface; the stud designed to be inserted through an aperture in the said other member; an expansion space formed around the stud; and an orifice in the stud extending in an insertion direction through a cylindrical housing of the stud of substantially circular cross-section and extending substantially rectilinearly along the insertion direction; the housing being designed to capture a shank of a separate fastener means, the shank having a rounded chamfer thread of a diameter that is at least as great as that of the housing; wherein the stud is adapted to have the shank inserted therein and be subjected to predetermined outwards elastic deformation into the expansion space without destroying the orifice.
