ABSTRACT:
A system for coupling two parts together, the system being composed of two coupling members each fixable to a respective part, each coupling member including: a support piece; a male element projecting from the support piece; and a female element formed in the support piece to define a receptacle. The male element and the female element each has a central axis and the central axes extend parallel to one another, the male element has a cylindrical shank and a rounded tip portion each coaxial with the central axis of the male element, the tip portion having a diameter greater than that of the shank and being separated from the support piece by the shank, the female element is defined by an opening and is provided with a plurality of radially inwardly extending, resiliently deformable teeth spaced apart around the circumference of the opening and circumscribing a circle having a diameter not greater than the diameter of the shank, and the female element is formed to be mateable with the male element.
