Abstract
The method can include: introducing a neck portion of the handle in a receiving aperture of the frame and thereby positioning a second engagement member of the neck into a tangential engagement with a first engagement member of a rotary holder, and positioning a transversal groove defined in the neck portion in axial alignment with a clip axially trapped in a cam cavity of the frame, the clip further being tangentially trapped by the rotary holder but free to slide in a radial orientation relative to the rotary holder; and rotating the rotary holder around the rotation axis, via rotation of the handle, along a camming angle, the rotary holder thereby pivoting a clip around the rotation axis, inside a cam cavity, the cam cavity pushing the clip radially inwards during said pivoting, until it is engaged in the transversal groove, preventing axial retraction of the neck portion thereafter.
