Abstract
A plug for closing an opening of a casing, the plug including a solid hub, with central axis, as well as a retaining member which ensures the axial attachment of the plug in the opening, the plug including a play-compensating carriage, which is distinct from the hub and which is movably mounted on a guiding support borne by the hub, the guiding support being arranged in such a way as to axially retain the carriage and to guide the relative movement of the carriage with respect to the hub in a direction termed the “play-compensating direction” transverse to the central axis, a spring-type resilient member, arranged between the guiding support and the carriage, and an orientating member arranged so as to orientate the plug, and consequently the play-compensating direction defined by the guiding support, in azimuth around the central axis, according to a predetermined orientation with respect to the casing.
