Abstract

In order to fix an equipment (12) to a support (10), such as a support onboard an aircraft, use is made of a locking bolt (16) having a threaded rod (24) articulated by a yoke (18) to support (10) and on which is screwed a manipulating nut (26). A bearing part (28), immobilized in rotation on threaded rod (24), is connected with a certain axial clearance to nut (26) and has on its front face a cup-shaped recess (34) able to cover a lug (14) fixed to the equipment (12). Springs (38) placed in slots (39) of nut (26) permanently apply rods (40) to the rear face of part (28) on which are formed indentations (42).
