A fastener structure (10) for connecting a first connector member (12) to a second connector member (14) having a slot (16) for receiving the first connector member (12). The first connector member (12) has a pair of generally parallel stiff yieldable legs (20) that are spaced apart a distance substantially equivalent to a width of the slot. The slot (16) has an open end (22) defined by confronting spaced apart sidewalls (24 and 26). The legs (20) have outwardly forming cam surfaces for camming engagement with the sidewalls (24 and 26), thus causing the yieldable legs to yield towards one another as the first connector member is pushed into the slot in the second connector member. The yieldable legs (20) have oppositely facing locking abutments (32 and 34) and the slot sidewalls have notched areas (36 and 38) for receiving the locking abutments. The fastener structure further includes a lock key member (18) that is slidable longitudinally between the legs and is engageable with confronting inner faces of the legs.
L'invention concerne une structure de fixation (10) destinée à raccorder un premier élément de raccord (12) à un deuxième élément de raccord (14) qui possède une fente (16) destinée à accueillir le premier élément de raccord (12). Le premier élément de raccord (12) possède une paire de bras rigides coulissants généralement parallèles (20), écartés sur une distance sensiblement égale à la largeur de la fente. La fente (16) possède un bout ouvert (22) délimité par les parois latérales opposées et écartées (24, 26). Les bras (20) possèdent des rampes de verrouillage tournées vers l'extérieur et destinées à solliciter les parois latérales (24, 26) de manière à pousser l'un vers l'autre les bras coulissants à mesure que l'on insère le premier élément de raccord dans la fente du deuxième élément de raccord. Les bras coulissants (20) sont munis de butées de verrouillage opposées (32, 34), les parois latérales des fentes étant munies de zones à encoches (36, 38) destinées à accueillir les butées de verrouillage. La structure de fixation comprend en outre une clé de verrouillage (18) qui rentre coulissante entre les bras dans le sens de la longueur et met en prise les faces internes opposées des bras.
