Abstract: To mount a unit in a compartment in a vehicle instrument panel including an opening for inserting the unit, the unit includes two tenons that are compressible in a heightwise direction and can be guided in two fixed parallel longitudinal lateral slideways that include an entry zone and a closed-end zone that is not as tall as the entry zone in which the tenon is compressed vertically. A facade surround is provided around the opening to collaborate in positioning and/or attachment of a face plate of the unit. The lateral slideways include two longitudinally separated parts, a first part secured to the facade surround and a second part not secured to the facade surround and held on a wall of the compartment of the instrument panel to lie substantially in longitudinal continuation of the first part.

Abstract: A device is for mounting a unit including two parallel lateral faces on each of which there is disposed a stud. The device includes two parallel lateral slideways that are formed in a compartment in an instrument panel of a vehicle and form a groove that is oriented in a substantially longitudinal direction. The groove includes an entry zone and an end zone that is less high than the entry zone. The stud includes an elastically compressible part to vertically push the stud in an end zone of its groove during longitudinal introduction of the stud into its corresponding groove. The stud also includes a central part from which there extend two opposite symmetrical arms that each bear two turned-back lugs that are substantially parallel to the arms and form longitudinal anchors that are symmetrical with respect to the central part and are elastically compressible vertically.

Abstract: A device for mounting a unit including two parallel side faces on each of which there is a tenon, the device including two parallel lateral slideways formed in a compartment in an instrument panel of a vehicle and acting as a mortice oriented in a substantially longitudinal direction and including an entry zone and a closed-end zone that is not as tall as the entry zone. The tenon includes an elastically compressible part to push the tenon vertically into the closed end zone of its mortice as the tenon is introduced longitudinally into its corresponding mortice, and the tenon including a central part from which there extend two opposing symmetric arms each bearing two tabs turned back substantially parallel to the arms and forming symmetric longitudinal anchors, with respect to the central part and which are elastically compressible in the heightwise direction.
