ABSTRACT:
The assembly element is mechanically connected to two component parts of a device (2) at least once the device is assembled. A shape-memory metal element (6i, 7i), is provided as the assembly element, the metal element having a first form during assembly of the device (2) and a second form, which assures the mechanical connection between the two component parts (3a-3d, 4a-4c) of the device, when the device is assembled. The second form is memorized by the shape-memory metal element before assembly, by its shape-memory properties.
