Abstract
In a device for holding a first member in position relative to a second member, the first member and the second member are connected by a clamping system having a clamping axle passing through the members. A relatively soft plastics material adhesion shoe is fixed to the second member. The clamping axle passes through the adhesion shoe. A metal rack having teeth is disposed on a base which is mounted on the clamping axle. When the clamping system is immobilized in a locked position, the teeth of the rack penetrate the relatively soft plastics material of the adhesion shoe in order to guarantee that the first member is held in position relative to the second member.
