Abstract
The fixing device includes parallel slides 1a, 1b, 1c and 1d constituted by double folds of flexible thin curtains disposed opposite one another. Each slide is made up of two lips 2a, 3a, 2b, 3b, 2c and 3c which are able to receive cards 14a, 14b and 14c by sliding. Between the sldies 1a and 1b, the curtain has an arced shape and bears tie rods 6 so that any traction applied to these tie rods 6 flattens the arc-shaped section of the curtain 1, thus pushing back the lip 2a towards the lip 3a and the lip 2b towards the lip 3b. Thus, clamping of the cards 14a and 14b is respectively obtained in the slides 1a and 1b. The invention is applicable to the fixing of printed cards in housings, particularly on board space and aeronautical vehicles.
