Abstract
A connector for connecting two members having a body of composite material consisting of reinforcing fibers embedded in a plastic matrix of resin, for connecting the two members to one another, and having a housing, a mounting ring installed in the housing, a swivel installed in the mounting ring and capable of allowing, by swivelling in the mounting ring, articulation between the two members to be connected, the swivel acting as a fastening area for one of the two members. The reinforcing fibers form, with the resin, plies which, when stacked, form a laminate, and the mounting ring is fastened in the housing of the body of the connector to prevent any movement of the mounting ring relative to the body of the connector.
