The thickness of said lower plate 7 is thin comparatively to the thickness of said upper plate, for example lower than or equal to 1 cm. The device comprises means for securing said upper place to said platform, said means being one spacer 8 which consists of a set of legs welded to said platform, said upper plate 3 being attached to each leg by a screw.
