The invention relates to an article of man-ufacture comprising a partial or complete tubular primary part defining a tube axis and having an at least partially curved circumferential wall at least partially encircling the axis; said wall com-prising a joint edge, defining a) a joint line along said edge on said wall, b) a joint plane drawn to contain said joint line, c) a joining direction hav-ing at least a direction component perpendicular to said joint line and said joint plane, d) a locking plane at least partially at the surface or within a section through said wall in which both said joint line and said joining direction lie and e) a nor-mal direction being perpendicular to said joint plane; and at least one locking structure, the im-provement comprising that the locking structure includes at least one positive or negative hook structure in said locking plane, extending in the joining direction away from the joint line and having an undercut in the locking plane and that the hook structure is exposed from at least one side of the locking plane when viewed along the normal direction. The invention also relates to a method for joining such a primary part to a sec-ondary part and joined such parts.

L'invention concerne un objet fabriqué comprenant une première partie tubulaire partielle ou complète définissant un axe de tube et présentant une paroi circonférentielle au moins partiellement incurvée encerclant au moins partiellement l'axe, ladite paroi comprenant un bord de raccordement, définissant a) une ligne de jointure le long dudit bord de ladite paroi, b) un plan de jointure tracé pour contenir ladite ligne de jointure, c) un sens d'assemblage présentant au moins une composante de direction perpendiculaire à ladite ligne de jointure et audit plan de jointure, d) un plan de verrouillage au moins partiellement à la surface ou à l'intérieur d'une section dans ladite paroi, dans lequel se trouve à la fois ladite ligne de jointure et ledit sens d'assemblage et e) un sens perpendiculaire audit plan de jointure; ainsi qu'au moins une structure de verrouillage. L'amélioration consiste en une structure de verrouillage comprenant au moins une structure de crochet positif ou négatif dans ledit plan de verrouillage, s'étendant dans le sens d'assemblage à l'opposé de la ligne de jointure et présentant une dépouille dans le plan de verrouillage, de manière que la structure de crochet soit exposée à partir d'au moins une face du plan de verrouillage vue le long du sens perpendiculaire. L'invention concerne également un procédé d'assemblage de cette première partie à une seconde partie ainsi que les deux parties assemblées.
