Abstract
A device for mounting an aircraft engine, including a rigid structure, an engine attachment including a connecting plate superposed to an associated connecting plate of said rigid structure, and means for mutually tightening said plates comprising at least one wedge-effect tightening block and corresponding bearing surfaces of said plates which are conformed so that, when each tightening block is applied against said bearing surfaces along a direction parallel to the plane of the contact surface between both of these plates, this block exerts by a wedge-effect a force for tightening these plates against each other along a direction perpendicular to said plane.
