Abstract: The device (25, 26) comprises a tubular body (40) mounted axially movable on a flange (5) of a transport structure (4) for an object (6), a spring (36) for return of the tubular body (40) towards an unclamped position, an arrangement for manual displacement (19, 20, 16, 21) of the tubular body (40) between its unclamped position and a clamping position, carried by the flange (5), a rod mounted slidably in the axial direction of the tubular body (40) to a limited extent and carrying a shoe (14, 15), and a second spring for elastic return interposed between an abutment fastened to the tubular body (40) and the end of the sliding rod opposite the shoe (14, 15).

Abstract: The device comprises a cradle (4) having at least one supporting surface on which the object (6) rests, at least one flange (5) pivotably mounted on the cradle (4) and members (14, 16, 20) for locking the flange (5a, 5b) in its turned-down position. The device further comprises a bearing block (38) connected to the flange in an articulated manner, a shoe (40) mounted on the bearing block (38) for limited displacement and having two bearing surfaces (40a) directed towards the object (6), in the turned-down position of the flange, and a leaf spring (41) interposed between the bearing block (38) and the shoe (40).
