Abstract
A device for coupling two outer parts (3) to a third part (2) disposed therebetween. The device includes a plurality of fasteners 7 each threadably mounted to an opening (9) in one of the outer parts and a cylindrical recess (6a) in the third part. Each fastener 7 has a conical head 7a that rests against the opening in the outer part. The outer parts project over the cylindrical recess so that an annular cavity is formed between the head of the fastener and the third part. Thus, the head of the fastener elastically deforms the outer part into the annular cavity so that additional forces may be transmitted from the outer part to the third part. In addition, the inner surface of each outer part is parallel to the third part so that the third part may be replaced without any effective movement of the outer parts.
