Abstract
An assembly of a first element with a second element includes an elongate thin lip belonging to the second element being inserted in an elongate narrow slot formed by three sides of an elongate flat plate fixed in parallel to a flat wall of the first element. At least one element forming a guide is secured to a long side of the elongate flat plate forming an edge of the slot. The element forming a guide includes a sliding surface extending in the continuation of the elongate flat plate and diverging from the flat wall away from the first element. The at least one element forming a guide cooperates with the lip so that the insertion of the lip into the slot begins with the sliding of the lip on the sliding surface and then continues as the lip advances, with progressive insertion of the lip into the slot.
