An assembly (5) has an elongated member (10) having a fixed end (12) and a free end (11) opposite the fixed end (12) and a retaining member (20) having a through hole (22), the fixed end (12) extending through the through hole (22), where the retaining member (20) is mounted onto the fixed end (12). The through hole (22) of the retaining member (20) has a widened portion (24) which opens onto an end surface (26) of the retaining member (20), the end surface (26) facing towards the free end (11) of the elongated member (10). The widened portion (24) is defined at least in part by a peripheral wall (25). The assembly (5) has an extension member (30) sleeved on the elongated member (10) between the fixed end (12) and the free end (11).
1/ An assembly comprising:
2/ An assembly comprising:
3/ The assembly according to claim 1, wherein the peripheral wall has a surface roughness Ra of at least 0.1 micrometers and at most 6.4 micrometers.
4/ The assembly according to claim 1, wherein the end portion has a surface roughness Ra of at least 0.1 micrometers and at most 6.4 micrometers.
5/ The assembly according to claim 1, wherein the retaining member is made of a nickel alloy, stainless steel or a titanium alloy.
6/ The assembly according to claim 1, wherein the extension member is made of a nickel alloy, stainless steel or a titanium alloy.
7/ The assembly according to claim 1, wherein the extension member is retained on the elongated member, optionally by at least one of crimping, tight fitting, friction welding, fusion welding, soldering or brazing.
8/ The assembly according to claim 1, wherein the elongated member has a hollow cross-section, whereby the elongated member has an inner volume, and wherein the inner volume is filled with an electrical insulator which surrounds at least one electrically conducting element.
9/ The assembly according to claim 8, wherein the free end of the elongated member includes a sensor, for instance a temperature sensor, connected to the electrically conducting element.
10/ The assembly according to claim 8, wherein the free end of the elongated member includes a heating element connected to the electrically conducting element.
11/ The assembly according to claim 1, wherein the retaining member has a flange on which the end surface is formed, and wherein at least part of the widened portion of the through hole is formed within the flange.
12/ The assembly according to claim 1, wherein the assembly further comprises a fixing member for retaining the retaining member.
13/ The assembly according to claim 12, wherein the fixing member has an inner opening in which part of the retaining member is housed, preferably wherein the inner opening is unthreaded.
14/ A structure comprising a wall and an assembly according to claim 1, wherein the wall has a wall opening through which the elongated member extends, the retaining member of the assembly being retained on the wall.
15/ The structure according to claim 14, wherein the assembly further comprises a fixing member for retaining the retaining member, and the fixing member of the assembly retains the retaining member within the wall opening.
