Connecting element for two mechanical parts

摘要

A double locking connection device is provided between two sheet metal components to press the two components together and to prevent them from pivoting about an axis. A first component includes at least one arc-shaped key-hole having a) a first arched zone of a first width, a second arched zone following the first arched zone and having a second width smaller than the first width, and a third zone arranged between the first and second and having a width which decreases progressively in a direction of rotation from the first width to not greater than the second width. The second component includes an elastic locking tab suitable for placement in the first arched zone and having a width slightly less than the first width but greater than the second width so that relative rotation of the two components results in the double locking thereof.
