Abstract
A cylindrical housing (1) and a body (4) having a shape matching the shape of the housing (1). The body (4) is immobilized, so as to compress the elastically compressible part (3), by a split ring (6) placed in a groove (7) of the cylindrical wall of the housing (1). The shape and dimensions of the ring (6) are selected in such a way that it bears against a peripheral surface of the body (4) in order to prevent it from moving outwards. The ring (6) is locked in the groove (7) by a collar (8) having zones (82) which, by virtue of their shape, prevent the ring (6) from moving out of the groove (7) and bulges (81) interacting with a groove (41) of the body (4) for the fixing by snap-fitting of the collar onto the body.
