  • Patent number: 5037258
    Abstract: The device comprises a nut (4) floatingly housed in a seat made in a barrel (3) of partially cylindrical form and provided with a radial through-hole (10) emerging in the seat and permitting the passage, with play, of the threaded rod of a screw (6) intended to interact with the said nut for the assembly of two parts (1, 2). The bearing surfaces opposite the seat and the nut (4) are provided so as to form a pivot joint for taking up any angular offset between the axis (13) of the screw (6) and the axis (14) of the through-hole (10) of the barrel. On its periphery, the nut (4) is provided with means (23) for immobilization in rotation relative to its seat in the barrel (3). The device also comprises means (5) for retaining the nut (4) on the barrel as well as a pair of washers (7, 8) for compensating for a variation in thickness.
