Abstract
An assembly for connecting a first body to a second body includes a first element having a connection end to the first body and a first tubular portion, and a second element having a connection end to the second body and a second tubular portion extending along the longitudinal axis. The first tubular portion and the second tubular portion are interlocked by at least one complementary tubular portion nested in the first tubular portion and around the second tubular portion. A rigid piece connects the first body to the second body and is fastened to the first and second bodies. One of the first and second bodies is connected with functional play at one of the two attachment points of the rigid connecting piece, wherein the rigid connecting piece is formed of two flat rigid pieces extending on both sides of the first and second elements along the longitudinal axis.
