ABSTRACT:
There is disclosed a device (1, 34) for positioning a first element (24) with respect to at least a second element (25) by means of a resilient locking member made in a single piece and having two ends (2, 3) connected by a bar (4) capable of being resiliently deformed in its axial direction (5). The longitudinal resilience of the bar (4) is due to the fact that it includes a plurality of apertures (11) over its length, said apertures (11) being located alternately on either side of a median plane (14) of the bar (4). This locking member can easily be manufactured in the form of a moulded plastic part.
