Device for connecting two parts of a clock

A device for connecting a first part with a second part, wherein said first part defines a first plane, and wherein said second part defines a second plane, comprising at least one opening provided in said first part and located in said first plane, said opening being defined by flat wall portions of said first part, at least one locking element projecting from said second part, said projecting locking element having a stem extending substantially at right angles to said second plane and an end portion extending from said stem, said stem and end portion being adapted to be received in said opening for releasably engaging said flat wall portions by a sliding movement parallel to said flat wall portions, said device further comprising a resilient latch member normally located in said first plane defined by said first part, said resilient latch member being adapted to be deflected out of said first plane by said end portion of said projecting locking element into a first position allowing said end portion to be introduced into said opening and to engage said flat wall portions, said resilient latch member resiliently moving back into a second position in abutting relationship with said projecting locking element so as to maintain said stem and end portion of the projecting locking element engaged with said flat wall portions, whereby a rigid locking but a resilient disengagement is provided.
