Abstract
A device for fixing an object to a support comprises, in a plate forming part of the object, at least one hole for a fixing to pass through. A gasket is applied to the plate at the location of the hole, and a bearing washer is disposed between the gasket and a head of the fixing. An immobilizing device associated with the bearing washer opposes movement of the bearing washer parallel to the plate and to allow movement of the bearing washer perpendicular to the plate. A confinement device associated with the gasket prevents the gasket escaping from the space between the bearing washer and the plate.
