1. System for retaining an anchoring member on an implantable part, comprising:
a system for retaining an anchoring member comprising:
an implantable part;a retaining housing arranged in a part of the implantable part having a degree of elastic flexibility and delimited by a continuous wall of the part having the degree of elastic flexibility, the retaining housing being arranged directly in the wall of the implantable part, the retaining housing comprising: a first axial end, via which the anchoring member is insertable through the retaining housing, and a second axial end opposed to the first axial end;
a retaining portion arranged on the anchoring member, the retaining portion configured to be located at the retaining housing once the anchoring member has been placed in position, wherein:the continuous wall forms, on the side of the first axial end, a first collar integral with the part, the first collar forming a first continuous circular projection capable of being elastically deformed by the retaining portion arranged on the anchoring member, the first circular projection formed by the first collar protruding radially and inwardly in the retaining housing and defining a first projection diameter;the continuous wall is continuous from a top surface to a bottom surface of the retaining housing;the retaining housing has a spherical shape and has a first diameter at said first axial end, a second diameter, smaller than the first diameter, at the second axial end, and a maximum diameter between said the diameter and second diameter, the maximum diameter being larger than the first diameter and second diameter, the continuous wall thus forming, on the side of said first axial end, the first collar; the continuous wall also forms, on the side of said second axial end, a second collar forming a second continuous circular projection defining a second projection diameter, smaller than the first projection diameter, the second collar being not able to be elastically deformed by said retaining portion;
the retaining portion has a spherical shape having a maximum diameter substantially identical to the maximum diameter of the retaining housing, and is shaped so that it is able to follow the contour of this housing when the anchoring member is placed in position, the retaining portion therefore being capable of elastically deforming the first collar then of taking up a position in fitted manner inside the retaining housing, bearing against the second collar; andthe part having a degree of elastic flexibility is an elastically deformable material having a degree of deformability that is sufficient to allow, by elastic deformation, the passage of the retaining portion beyond said first collar,wherein a thickness in the radial direction of the second collar is about five times larger than a thickness in the radial direction of the first collar. |
