ABSTRACT:
The assembly device of the present invention includes a body (10), a ring (11) and a nut (12);
the body includes:
a threaded upper portion (10a),
two legs (15) delimiting between them a channel (16) for accommodating one (4) of the elongate components (4,5) to be assembled, these legs (15) being capable of moving apart or closer together;
at least one bearing surface (19) formed on the lateral face of the body (10) or of the legs (15), forming an axial stop, and
a transverse aperture (20) in which the second elongate component (5) to be assembled may be engaged;
the ring (11) can be engaged over the body (10) until it comes to bear on the stop (19), and is dimensioned in such a way that in this position it lies around the legs (15);
the nut (12) can be screwed onto the threaded upper portion (10a) of the body (10).
