  • Patent number: 8317174
    Abstract: System for positioning a component on a frame relative to a reference. It comprises a ball assembly (4), composed of a rod (6), a ball (8) fixed to the rod (6) and a ball joint clamping system (10, 12) mounted on the rod to fix the ball assembly relative to the component; a vee assembly composed of a rod (16), a vee (18) fixed to the rod (16) and a ball joint clamping system (20, 22) mounted on the rod to fix the vee assembly relative to the frame; an elastic connecting element (26) to keep the ball (8) in contact with the vee (18).
