Abstract
A device for joining a panel and another structure. The device (10) includes a plurality of mounts (16) evenly distributed along the interface (I) between the panel (12) and the structure (14). Each mount (16) comprises a tension screw approximately perpendicular to the interface (I) and a nut embedded in the panel (12), close to the latter. To allow the transmission of more significant forces, the nuts are arranged in at least two different rows (R1, R2, R3), parallel to the interface (I). Moreover, the nuts of the adjacent mounts are located in different rows.
