Device for the fixing of a part to a panel equipped with a drilling, such device comprising a saddle (4) with two facing arms (11, 12) drilled with coaxial holes (21, 22), one of which (11) has a shank (23) forming a nut, the arms (11, 12) being able to be placed on either side of the panel with their holes (21, 22) facing the aforementioned drilling. The other arm (12) is equipped with an elastically flexible lug (24) in which one of the holes (22) is made, the lug (24) comprising a protruding ridge (27) able to be lodged in the aforementioned drilling to allow for the saddle (4) to be snapped onto and thus fixed to the panel.
Device for fixing a part (2) to a panel (1) equipped with a drilling (6), such device comprising a saddle (4) equipped with an upper arm (11) and a lower arm (12) that face each other and jointly define an opening (19) opposite which they are connected by a plate (20), the upper arm (11) and the lower arm (12) being drilled with a coaxial upper hole (21) and a lower hole (22) respectively, the upper arm (11) comprising a shank (23) forming a nut in which the upper hole (21) is made, the arms (11, 12) being able to be placed on either side of the panel (1) with their holes (21, 22) facing the aforementioned drilling (6) whilst the plate (20) is placed facing the edge (7) of the panel (1), characterised in that the lower arm (12) has an elastically flexible lug (24) articulated by a rim (25) located on the side of the opening (19) and in which the lower hole (22) is made, the lug (24) having a ridge (27) that protrudes from the lower arm (12) towards the upper arm (11) and is able to be lodged in the aforementioned drilling (6) to allow for the saddle (4) to be snapped onto and thus fixed to the panel (1).
Device according to any one of the previous claims, characterised in that the upper arm (11) has a ramp (35) that slopes towards the opening (19).
Device according to any one of the previous claims, characterised in that the lower arm (12) has a chamfered free edge (18) on the side of the aforementioned opening (19).
Device according to any one of the previous claims, characterised in that the plate (20) is thicker than the arms (11, 12).
Device according to any one of the previous claims, characterised in that the aforementioned lug (24) is delimited by a U-shaped cut-out (26), the concavity of which faces the aforementioned opening (19).
Device according to any one of the previous claims, characterised in that the aforementioned shank (23) protrudes at least partly on the outer side of the upper arm (11).
Device according to any one of the previous claims, characterised in that the upper arm (11) has an elastically flexible tongue (41) that protrudes towards the lower arm (12).
