    [0001] Fastening device for fixing a panel to a structure, and aircraft. The present invention relates to a device for attaching a panel and in particular a trim panel of a passenger compartment, and an aircraft equipped with this device. An aircraft usually comprises panels covering the walls of a passenger compartment. Therefore, such panels are commonly referred to as "dressing panels". The panels are attached to the structures defining the living space by devices called "fixing device" for convenience. A known fastening device comprises screwing means. Each panel is then directly screwed to a structure.
    [0002] Such a screw fastening device has the advantage of being reliable and inexpensive. However, this fastening device is in essence visible, which can be embarrassing from an aesthetic point of view on some aircraft.
    [0003] In addition, this fixing device can offer low mounting tolerances, and can therefore lead to assembly difficulties. In addition, an aircraft may be subject to vibration. A screw fastener device is weakly damping in terms of vibrations.
    [0004] Other fasteners may employ ball pins or pins and receptacles interposed between the panel and the structure. These fixing devices are then little visible or invisible, and offer interesting mounting tolerances. However, these fasteners can be expensive, and weakly damping in terms of vibrations. In addition, an aircraft must comply with certification regulations in terms of crashworthiness. The justification of the crashworthiness of these fasteners may be difficult. As a result, the implementation of a device for fixing a panel on an aircraft leads to specific difficulties in terms of vibration and crash resistance in particular. The invention is therefore particularly in this technical field. Therefore, a device for fixing a panel of an aircraft may include at least one of the following advantages: being as visible as possible, tolerant to assembly, light, inexpensive, reliable, cushioning, compatible with the regulations certification in terms of crash holding. US 2002/197107 discloses a fastener for attaching a decorative panel to an automobile. This document does not therefore refer to the specific problems of an aircraft. The fixing device is provided with a base connected to a carrier plate. The carrier plate supports a fastening means 25 which can be magnetic. The document WO 2009 / 108.461 relates to a magnetic fastening provided with a support. An annular magnetic assembly carrying a magnet is then fitted around a pin of the support and a magnet. The support is then attached to a member for binding this member to a metal plate via the magnet.
    [0005] This device is interesting. However, the arrangement of a trim panel against an aircraft structure may generate positioning constraints such as misalignment of the panel with respect to the structure. In addition, a magnet is likely to degrade when the magnet comes into "violent" contact with another magnet or metal plate. Indeed, a magnet is relatively resistant to shock. The crash holding of a magnet can also be tricky to obtain. US 5,280,991 discloses a device for magnetically attaching a roof panel of a vehicle. This fixing device comprises magnets incorporated on a periphery of the panel. US 7,178,207 discloses a magnetic fastener having two magnets. The object of the present invention is therefore to propose a fastening device intended to have at least one of the following advantages: to be the least visible possible, to tolerate assembly, light, inexpensive, reliable, cushioning, compatible with the 25 regulations of certification in terms of crash holding. The invention therefore relates to a fixing device for fixing a panel to a structure, this fixing device being provided with at least one reversible fixing assembly comprising a movable pad adapted to be fixed to the panel and a fixed pad adapted to be fixed the structure, the movable stud having a first magnetization means cooperating with a second magnetization means of the fixed stud, at least one magnetization means comprising a magnet.
    [0006] In addition, at least one magnetization means is carried by a ball joint of the associated stud. In addition, each magnetization means is integral in translation with a displacement means to be displaced in translation along a longitudinal axis of the associated stud from an engagement position to a reversibly disengaged position. The magnetization means are strongly magnetized to each other when they are facing each other and each in the engagement position and not being magnetized or weakly magnetized when at least one means of magnetization is in its disengagement position. Each magnetization means is then either fixed directly to the corresponding displacement means or carried by a ball joint which is fixed to the displacement means. Optionally, each magnetization means is carried by a ball joint. In addition, the longitudinal axis of the movable stud called "first longitudinal axis" is substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the fixed stud called "second longitudinal axis". By "substantially horizontal" is meant that the first longitudinal axis and the second longitudinal axis are coaxial when the movable pad and the fixed pad are perfectly positioned and magnetized to each other. Therefore, each magnetization means carried by a ball has, with respect to a casing of the associated stud, three rotational degrees of freedom conferred by the ball joint. These degrees of freedom allow to allow a shift between the movable pad and the fixed pad, for example an angular offset, transverse and / or elevation. As a result, the fastener provides an attractive tolerance to assembly. This characteristic makes it possible to soften the accuracy of the positioning of the panel with respect to the structure to be dressed. In addition, these rotational degrees of freedom tend to reduce the risk of blockage of the device, following arcbouting for example caused by the deformation of the trim panel or the structure to be dressed. In addition, the movable stud may be attached to an inner face of the panel opposite a face of this structure. As a result, the fixing device is relatively invisible from a cab. Moreover, the fixing device can be standardized to be used for fixing multiple separate panels. This standardization can facilitate the work of a design office carrying out interior design. In addition, the standardization 20 facilitates the realization of interface plans between the panels and structures to dress. Furthermore, this fixing device is simple to implement and tends to limit the deterioration of each magnet, for example a high capacity neodynium magnet 25 Indeed, an operator can manipulate the displacement devices to position the magnetization means in their disengagement position.
    [0007] Indeed, in addition to degrees of freedom in rotation, each magnetization means has a degree of freedom in translation along a longitudinal axis. To fix the panel to a structure, an operator can then induce the displacement in translation of the magnetization means of the movable stud in the disengagement position. This magnetization means is referred to as "first magnetization means" for convenience. For ease of reading, it is called "first" a member 10 of the movable pad and "second" the corresponding member of the fixed pad. As a result, the operator positions the magnetization means of the fixed stud in the engagement position. This magnetization means is called "second magnetization means" taking into account the convention described above. The operator then pushes the panel towards the structure by substantially bringing each movable stud to the corresponding fixed pad. Since the first magnetization means of each movable stud is in the disengagement position, the magnetization of the first magnetization means to the second magnetization means is small or even zero, given the gap separating them. The operator then reduces this gap to its minimum by inducing the displacement of the first magnetization means of each movable stud in the engagement position. The magnetization of the first magnetization means to the second magnetization means is then raised to maintain the panel in position.
    [0008] The longitudinal displacement of the magnetization means has the significant advantage of avoiding a "violent" shock between the magnetization means. During a shock of this type, the magnetization means "slam" according to the expression of those skilled in the art which can lead to a spalling of the magnetization means and a reduction of their power of attraction in the frame of a magnet. The invention thus makes it possible to use a relatively inexpensive magnetization technology reliably over time in order to fix a panel to a structure. This technology allows an invisible, reliable, and tolerant mounting insofar as at least one magnetization means is arranged in the cradle of a ball joint. To remove the panel, the operator moves longitudinally the first magnetization means of each movable stud in the disengagement position. The mutual attraction force of the magnetization means of the movable stud and the fixed stud of a set is then no longer sufficient to prevent an operator from moving the panel relative to the structure.
    [0009] This fixing device may further include one or more of the following additional features. Thus, the fixing device may comprise at least one pivot joint adapted to be fixed to the panel and to the structure to allow rotation of the panel relative to the structure.
    [0010] For example, each pivot joint is arranged in a lower portion of a panel while a movable stud is fixed in an upper portion of the panel. An operator then fixes the panel to the pivot joint, then pivots the panel to attach it to the structure. This pivot joint facilitates the positioning of the panel relative to the structure. In addition, each magnetization means of a fastener assembly includes a magnet, a magnet means comprises a magnet and the other magnet means comprises a metal plate. The first magnetization means and the second magnetization means can therefore both comprise magnets. However, if the attractive force is very high, only one magnetization means can be provided with a magnet. For example, the first magnetization means may comprise a magnet, while the second magnetization means of a fastener assembly comprises a plate capable of being magnetized to said magnet. Furthermore, at least one magnetization means comprising a so-called "connecting face" to be magnetized to the other magnetization means, this connecting face is optionally covered with an anti-friction member. For example, a Teflon® chip is bonded to the bonding face of a magnet type magnetization means. This characteristic is particularly advantageous in a medium subjected to vibrations to prevent these vibrations from eroding the magnetization means, and possibly their nickel-plated protective layer. Moreover, at least one stud may comprise a displacement means provided with an arm, this arm comprising an endless screw engaged in a nut attached to a housing of the stud, the displacement means being provided with a means of drive to rotate the arm to induce translation this arm.
    [0011] The nut being secured to the housing of the stud, a rotation of the worm induces in fact a longitudinal displacement of the arm, the ball if necessary and the magnet means of the stud. This system is relatively simple and potentially inexpensive. In addition, the arm may extend longitudinally from an end connected to a magnetization means, possibly through a ball joint, to an end provided with a toothed base, the drive means comprising a movable rack 10 transversely, a periphery of said base being at least partially notched having at least one notch engaged with the rack. As a result, translation of the rack induces rotation of the notched base according to the operating principle of a cam. This rotation then induces a rotation of the worm and finally a translation of the worm and the magnet means. For this purpose, the drive means of the movable stud may comprise a cable integral with said rack. The design of the mobile pads makes it possible to use a single cable control to simultaneously activate several mobile pads. Thus, the fastening device may include a plurality of fastening assemblies each including a movable stud and a fixed stud, the racks of a plurality of movable studs being connected to the same cable control. The chaining obtained between the mobile pads makes it possible to simplify the control of the panel when several mobile pads are used, and also to reduce the mass of the control system.
    [0012] The rack can also be controlled by an electrical system, for example Alternatively or additionally, the driving means of a movable stud may comprise an orifice of the arm adapted to receive the head of a screwing / unscrewing tool, a housing said stud comprising a passage for guiding such a tool towards said orifice. The drive means therefore comprises a tool, such as for example a hexagonal key. This tool travels within the movable stud to be inserted into an orifice of the arm of the displacement means, for example in the notched base previously described. The fixing device can therefore offer at least two distinct possibilities for controlling the position of a magnetization means of a mobile block in particular. Furthermore, the fixing device may comprise a crash-holding system provided with a safety link wrapped around a self-locking reel of said movable stud, said safety link carrying a ball pin insertable reversibly and manually in a receptacle of said fixed stud. This receptacle can be secured to a housing of the fixed stud. Each or at least one fastening assembly may comprise a crash-holding system implementing a safety link extending between the movable stud and the fixed stud.
    [0013] This architecture makes it possible to separate the function "maintenance of the panel to the cases of operational loads" filled with the aid of the magnetization means to support weak efforts, and the function "maintenance of the panel to the case of loads crashes" filled with the crash-holding system support to withstand high forces. In parallel with the magnetization means, a rope retention system makes it possible to withstand the forces associated with the crash. The safety link is indeed a rope mounted on a self-locking retractor that minimizes the stroke of the panel relative to the structure in case of crash In addition, this security link allows the maintenance of the panel in a semi-open position to maintenance activities.
    [0014] This safety link is sized to withstand a relatively high effort compared to its mass. This dimensioning is relatively simple to perform. Indeed, the forces exerted on the fixing device during a crash may tend to separate the first magnetization means and the second magnetization means of a fixing assembly. The panel then deviates from the supporting structure to an open position reached when the security link is stretched. The winder is for example movable in translation along the first longitudinal axis of the movable stud being arranged around a guide means of a housing of the movable stud, this winder being joined by a spring member against the moving means to be integral in translation of the magnet means of the movable stud.
    [0015] In addition, this housing may comprise at least one notch cooperating with the notched face of the reel to prevent rotation of the reel in a direction of recess rotation for the recess of the safety link, when the magnetization means is in his commitment position.
    [0016] When locking the panel, the first magnetization means and the winder are in their engagement position. The notched face of the winder is then engaged on at least one notch of the housing. This screen then prohibits a rotation of the reel tending to unwind the security link. The length of the safety link between the mobile pin and the fixed pin is thus fixed in this engagement position. On the other hand, in the disengagement position, it is possible to unwind the safety link, the winder not being integral in rotation with the magnetization means. This characteristic allows the realization of maintenance actions. As a result, the winder is finally locked in rotation, except when a voluntary action induces the displacement of the first magnet means of the movable stud towards the center of the first casing of the movable stud. During this voluntary action, the security security link can be unwound, in particular to be able to fit the ball pin in the dedicated receptacle of the fixed pin. On the other hand, in the event of a crash, the reel is blocked by clutch teeth of the first housing to retain the panel, in case of separation of the magnetization means. In addition, said receptacle may be traversed by a finger of a rack engaged with the means for moving the fixed stud in the absence of the ball pin, the magnetization means of the fixed stud being in the disengagement position. the absence of the ball pin. This characteristic requires an operator to fix the ball pin of a movable stud to a fixed stud to be able to secure the movable stud to the fixed stud. The safety of the fixing device is thus optimized.
    [0017] Furthermore, the winder may comprise a return spring tending to generate a rotation of the winder in a winding direction of rotation for winding the safety tie around the winder.
    [0018] When closing the panel, the safety link is rewound automatically thanks to the return spring of the retractor. Furthermore, the movable stud comprising a rack called "first rack" cooperating with the movable block moving means said "first moving means", the first rack being movable between a first position putting the magnet means of the movable block in the engagement position and a second position putting the magnet means of the movable stud in the disengagement position, said movable stud comprises a first spring member exerting a force tending to position the first rack in the first position. Only a voluntary action can then lead to positioning the first magnetization means in its disengaged position to optimize the safety of the fixing device.
    [0019] The fixed stud comprising a rack called "second rack" cooperating with the moving means of the fixed pad said "second moving means", the second rack being movable between a first location putting the magnetization means of the fixed stud in the position of engagement and a second location putting the magnet means of the fixed pin in the disengagement position, said fixed pin may comprise a second spring member exerting a force tending to position the second rack at its second location. Only a voluntary action can then lead to positioning the second magnetization means in its engagement position to optimize the safety of the fixing device, for example by requiring the insertion of a ball pin. According to one embodiment, the movable stud may then comprise a first magnetization means carried by a first displacement means, this first displacement means comprising an arm connected to the first magnetization means and a first base and a first screw. endless extending between the first magnetization means and the first base through a first fixed nut, said first base having notches engaged with a first rack, said movable stud having a winder around which is wound a link of safety carrying a ball pin, said winder being movable in translation along said first longitudinal axis of the movable stud and being pushed by a spring member against said first displacement means to be integral in translation with the magnet means of the movable stud, said winder having a notched face engaged with at least one notch of a housing of the movable stud in the engagement position. In addition, the fixed pad may comprise a second magnetization means carried by a second displacement means, this second displacement means comprising an arm connected to the second magnetization means and a second base and a second worm. extending between the second ball and the second base through a second fixed nut, said second base having notches engaged with a second rack, said second rack having a receptacle in which can be fitted a ball pin of the movable plug . Prior to fixing the panel to a structure, the second magnetization means is recessed within the fixed pad, namely in its disengaging position. Similarly, the first magnetization means is recessed within the movable stud, namely in its disengaged position.
    [0020] The operator then positions the panel relative to the structure, for example by pivoting it through a pivot joint. The operator then inserts the ball pin into the receptacle of the fixed stud. This insertion induces the displacement of the second rack and consequently the translation of the second magnetization means towards the outside of the fixed pad. This operation is possible because the winder is no longer in mesh with notches of the mobile housing. Therefore, the operator can pull the safety link to unwind and insert the ball pin into the fixed pin. The operator then moves the panel to bring the movable stud of the fixed stud. The first magnetization means being recessed in the first casing, the first magnetization means does not come into contact with the second magnetization means which can avoid a "breakdown" of or magnets. The operator then moves the first magnetization means by bringing it closer to the second magnetization means by operating the first rack or with the aid of a tool.
    [0021] This longitudinal displacement towards the outside of the first casing also induces the movement of the winder towards the notches of the first casing. When the first magnetization means reaches its engagement position, this first magnetization means is strongly magnetized to the second magnetization means. In addition, the retractor is engaged on the notches of the first housing. To dismantle the panel, the operator can perform the preceding steps in reverse order.
    [0022] Furthermore, the fixing device may comprise an elastomer member interposed the magnetization means of a pad and a housing of this pad is between a ball and said casing or being interposed between the displacement means and said casing.
    [0023] Each stud concerned comprises means damping vibrations, namely the elastomer member which decouples the ball of the housing. Optionally, a threaded wheel is used to prestress the elastomer to modify its stiffness to adapt it to the system. This wheel makes it possible to adjust the damping of the damping means after flight tests, without having to change the definition of the system. In addition to a fixing device, the invention is an aircraft provided with a structure and at least one trim panel. This aircraft then comprises at least one fastening device according to the invention. The invention and its advantages will appear in more detail in the following description with examples given by way of illustration with reference to the appended figures which represent: FIG. 1, a section of an aircraft equipped with a panel attached to a structure through a fixing device according to the invention, - Figure 2, a schematic view of an attachment assembly, - Figure 3, a section of a movable stud showing its first rack - Figure 4, a section of a fixed stud showing its second rack, - Figure 5, a movable stud in a disengagement position obtained by moving the first rack with a cable control, - Figure 6, a stud movable in a disengagement position obtained using a tool, - Figures 7 to 10, views explaining the securing of a movable pad to a fixed pad, and - Figures 11 to 12, views explaining the operation in case of a crash notammen t of a fastening device provided with a crash-holding system. The elements present in several separate figures are assigned a single reference.
    [0024] FIG. 1 shows an aircraft 1 comprising at least one panel 2 to be attached to a structure 3. For example, a covering panel 2 must be fastened to a structure at least partially delimiting a cabin. Therefore, the aircraft 1 is provided with a fixing device 5.
    [0025] This fixing device 5 comprises at least one fastening assembly 7 for reversibly fixing the panel 2 to the structure 3. Such a fastening assembly 7 then includes a movable stud 10 fixed to the panel 2 and a fixed stud 100 fixed to the structure 3 by usual means.
    [0026] Furthermore, the fastening device 5 presented comprises at least one pivot joint 6. This pivot joint 6 comprises a part fixed to the structure 3 and a part fixed to the panel 2 to allow a rotation ROT of the panel 2 relative to the 3. For example, at least one fastener assembly is in an upper section of the panel, while at least one pivot joint is located at the foot of the panel 2. Alternatively, the fastener has a plurality fasteners but lacks a pivot joint. With reference to FIG. 2, each stud comprises a magnetization means 15, 115 for reversibly adhering to one another. More precisely, at least one magnetization means comprises a magnet 16, the other magnetization means of an attachment assembly 7 comprising either another magnet or a metal plate sensitive to a magnetic field.
    [0027] In addition, each magnetization means has a connecting face intended to be magnetized with the other magnetization means. Therefore, at least one connecting face may be covered with a conventional anti-friction member 18. For example, the magnetization means said "first magnetization means 15" of the movable stud is a magnet 16 covered with an anti-friction member 18. The magnetization means said "second magnet means 115" of the fixed stud includes then for example a metal plate 116. In addition, each stud 10, 100 comprises a housing. This housing can be decomposed into a rear portion 12, 112 attached to either the panel or to the carrier structure 3, and a front portion 13, 113 facing the other front portion.
    [0028] As a result, the movable stud comprises a first housing 11 provided with a first rear portion 12 fixed to the panel 2 and a first front portion 13. The fixed stud comprises a second housing 111 provided with a second rear portion 112 attached to the structure 3 and a second front portion 113 opposite the first front portion 13. At least one stud further comprises a ball 20, 200 arranged in the front portion of the stud. Each ball is associated with the magnetization means 15, 115 to allow it three degrees of freedom in rotation about a longitudinal axis AX1, AX100 of the stud passing through the panel and the structure, but also around a transverse axis AX3, AX300 and an axis in elevation AX2, AX200 substantially parallel to the panel and to the structure. The longitudinal axes AX1, AX100 of the mobile and fixed studs 115 of a fastener assembly are respectively referred to as the first longitudinal axis AX1 and the second longitudinal axis AX100. The first longitudinal axis is substantially orthogonal to the panel 2, the second longitudinal axis AX100 being substantially orthogonal to the structure 3.
    [0029] The first longitudinal axis AX1 and the second longitudinal axis AX1 0 0 are parallel and coaxial in the absence of undue offset when the pads are secured to one another. This lack of lag is however theoretical. Therefore, we will see later that the invention allows to allow such a shift.
    [0030] Furthermore, each stud comprises a displacement means carrying a magnetization means, through a ball joint if necessary. The displacement means confers a degree of freedom in translation by means of magnetization of the stud along the corresponding longitudinal axis. More specifically, each magnetization means can be translated into the block housing from an engagement position to a disengaging position. The magnetization means 15, 155 of the movable stud and the fixed stud are strongly magnetized to each other when they are vis-à-vis and each in the engagement position POS1, and not being magnetized or weakly magnetized when at least one magnetization means 15, 115 is in its position of disengagement POS2. In the engagement position, a magnet means protrudes longitudinally from the casing of the associated stud.
    [0031] Such a moving means may comprise an arm 31, 131 directly carrying a magnetization means, or carrying the patella 20, 200 of the stud. For example, the arm carries an outer cage 22 of the ball in which a truncated ball 21 carrying the magnetization means is free to rotate.
    [0032] This arm 31, 131 includes a worm 32, 132 in engagement with a nut 33, 133 attached directly or indirectly to the casing of the stud 10, 100 concerned. In addition, the displacement means 30, 300 is provided with a drive means 35, 135 for rotating the arm 31, 131 to generate its translation. For example, each arm 31, 131 extends longitudinally from a distal end 31 ', 131' bearing a means of magnetization, where appropriate by a ball joint, towards a proximal end 31 ", 131" provided with a toothed base 31 ", 131". The drive means 35, 135 then includes a transversely movable rack 40, 140 which engages a notch 34, 134 of a periphery of the base 31 ", 131" of the moving means.
    [0033] For example, the movable stud 10 comprises a first magnetization means 15 carried by a first arm, via a ball joint called "first ball 20" according to the example shown. This first ball 20 is fixed to a displacement means called "first moving means 30". More specifically, an arm called "first arm 31" of the first displacement means carries the first ball 20 at its first distal end. For example, the first arm has a fork attached to an outer cage of the first ball joint.
    [0034] In addition, the first arm carries a base called "first base 31" at its first proximal end.The first arm then comprises, between its first distal end and its first proximal end, a first worm 32 passing through a first nut 33. fixed relative to the first arm.
    [0035] The first base 31 "has at its periphery notches 34 in engagement with a rack called" first rack 40. "With reference to FIG. 3, a first spring member 42 may be arranged between the first casing and the first rack 40. first spring member tends to position the first rack 40 in a first position POS11 visible in Figure 3 which causes the positioning of the first magnetization means in the engagement position of Figure 1. In opposing this first spring member the first rack 40 is moved along arrow F1 to a second position POS12 causing positioning of the first magnetization means in the disengaged position, with reference to FIG. a cable 36 integral with the first rack of the movable block.
    [0036] This drive means may comprise, in addition or alternatively, a tool 38 for screwing / unscrewing cooperating with an orifice 37 of the displacement means. For example, the tool 38 can be inserted into an orifice of the arm 31 of the movable stud, and in particular of its base 31 ". Therefore, the first casing 11 of the mobile stud and in particular its first rear portion 12 may comprise a passage 39 guiding the tool to the orifice 37. A displacement of the cable 36 and / or a rotation of the tool 38 10 then induces a rotation of the first arm, this rotation generating the translation of the first arm within the first housing 11. Furthermore, the fixed stud 100 comprises a second magnetization means 115 carried on a second distal end of a second arm, via a so-called "second ball joint 200" for example.In addition, the second arm carries a base called " second base 131 "" at its second proximal end. The second arm then comprises, between its second distal end and its second proximal end, a second worm 132 passing through a second nut 133 fixed relative to the first arm. The second base 131 "has at its periphery notches said" second notches 134 "in engagement with a rack called" second rack 140. "With reference to Figure 4, a second spring member 142 25 may be arranged between the second housing and the second rack 140. This second spring member tends to position the second rack 140 in a second location POS112 visible in Figure 4 which causes the positioning of the second magnetization means in the disengagement position of Figure 1. By opposing to this second spring member, the second rack 140 is moved according to the arrow F2 to a first location POS111 generating the positioning of the second magnetization means in the engagement position, and with reference to FIG. fastening assembly may comprise a crash holding system 50. This crash holding system 50 includes a safety link 51 10 which is nroulé around a retractor 55, for example self-locking, the movable stud 10. The safety link then extends from a section attached to the winder to a section bearing a ball pin 53. This ball pin is insertable reversibly and manually in a receptacle 150 secured to the second housing 111 of the fixed pin 100. More specifically, the receptacle 150 is traversed by a finger 141 of the second rack 140 of the fixed pin 100 in the absence of the ball pin 53. The second magnetization means 115 of the fixed stud 100 is then in the POS2 disengagement position. Figure 4 shows such an arrangement of the finger 141 in the receptacle 150. On the other hand, when the ball pin 53 is housed in the receptacle 150, this ball pin 53 pushes the second rack 25 according to the arrow F2. The second magnetization means 115 of the fixed stud 100 is then moved into the engagement position.
    [0037] As a result, the ball pin is a drive means adapted to move the second rack. Moreover, and with reference to FIG. 2, the reel 55 is movable in translation along the first longitudinal axis AX1 of the mobile pad 10. For example, this reel 55 is arranged for this purpose around a guiding means 14 of the first casing 11. The reel is then movable in translation but also in rotation about the first longitudinal axis AX1 in the first rear portion 12 of the first housing 11. This reel 55 may be pressed by a spring member 60 against the moving means 30 for being integral in translation with the first magnetization means 15 of the movable stud 10. The spring member 60 may be a conical spring fixed to a bottom 11 'of the first casing which is integral with the panel 2. In addition, the first casing 11 may comprise at least one notch 65 engaged with a notched face 55 'of the reel 55 in the engagement position POS1. In this position, each notch 65 of the housing prevents the reel 55 from rotating in a direction of recess S1 recess for the recess of the safety link 51 out of the reel. On the other hand, the translation of the winder towards the release position moves the notched face 55 'away from the notches of the first casing. Thus the notched face of the winder represents the face of the winder opposite the first magnetization means. Furthermore, the winder 55 optionally comprises a return spring 70 tending to generate a rotation of the winder in a direction of winding rotation S2 to wind the safety link 51 around the winder 55.
    [0038] Moreover, the schematized fixing device 5 comprises at least one elastomer member 80, 180 interposed directly or indirectly between a ball 20, 200 of a stud 10, 100 and a casing 11, 111 of this stud 10, 100.
    [0039] For example, the movable stud comprises a first elastomer member interposed indirectly between the first ball 20 and the first casing 11, being arranged between the first nut and the first casing. A washer 85 screwed to pre-constrain the first elastomeric member.
    [0040] It is understood that the first casing of the movable stud has access to the washer 85. For example, the front portion 13 of the first casing of the movable stud is shortened, the washer projecting from this front part to be manipulated by an operator. The schematized fixed pin comprises a second elastomer member 180 interposed directly between the second ball 120 and the second casing 11. This second elastomer member 180 is however not integral with the second roll 120 to allow the sliding of the second ball. This arrangement is not limiting. The fixed stud may for example comprise an elastomer member interposed indirectly between the second ball and the second casing 111, being arranged between the second nut and the second casing FIGS. 2, 5 to 12 explain the operation of the fixing device. With reference to FIG. 2, before the connection of the movable stud 10 to the fixed stud 100, the mobile stud is without its engagement position. The reel, the first arm, the first ball and the first magnetization means are each positioned as far as possible from the panel 2.
    [0041] Conversely, the fixed stud is without its disengagement position. The second arm, the second ball and the second magnetization means are each positioned as close as possible to the structure 3.
    [0042] An operator then moves the movable members of the movable stud to their disengaged position. According to FIG. 5, the operator operates the cable 36 which induces a translation of the first rack 40 along the arrow F3.
    [0043] This translation generates a rotation of the first arm 31 according to the arrow F4. The presence of the first nut therefore induces the translation of the first arm, the first ball and the first magnetization means according to the arrow F5. The first base 31 "exerts a force on the reel 55 allowing the longitudinal displacement of this reel by compressing the spring member 60. The reel, the first arm, the first ball and the first magnetization means are each positioned in the disengagement position as close as possible to the panel 2.
    [0044] Similarly, the movable members of the corresponding fixed pad are in the disengagement position. According to an alternative method shown diagrammatically in FIG. 6, the operator inserts the tool 38 through the panel 2 into the mobile stud. With this tool, the operator then directly rotates the first arm. From now on and with reference to FIG. 5, the operator pushes the panel 2 to bring it closer to the structure 3.
    [0045] The operator then grabs the ball pin 53 to insert it into the receptacle of the fixed stud. The reel 55 is not blocked by the notches 65 of the first housing, this operator can indeed unroll the safety link to manipulate the ball pin.
    [0046] The insertion of the ball pin into the receptacle causes the second arm, the second ball and the second magnet means to move towards their engagement position shown in FIG. 7. On the other hand, the first magnetization means remains in his disengagement position. By releasing the safety link, the operator allows the spring member to rotate the reel to rewind the safety link. The mobile stud then attaches to the fixed stud. With reference to FIG. 8, the operator then uses a means 15 for driving the mobile stud to join the first magnetization means 15 against the second magnetization means 115 of the fixed stud. The movable stud is then magnetized to the fixed stud which makes it possible to fix the panel 2 to the structure 3. It should be noted that if the ball pin is not inserted into the fixed stud, this magnetization is in fact impossible. . Indeed, in the absence of the ball pin, the movable members of the fixed pin are in the disengagement position. This feature is interesting from a security point of view. With reference to FIG. 9, the arrangement of the magnetization means on at least one ball joint makes it possible to allow an angular offset between the panel 2 and the structure 3.
    [0047] Similarly, and with reference to FIG. 10, this arrangement makes it possible to allow an axial offset between the panel 2 and the structure 3. In the event of a crash for example and with reference to FIG. 11, the magnetization power of the means magnetization of the mobile and fixed studs may be insufficient to maintain the panel against the structure 3. This panel then pivots with respect to the structure 3. However, the reel of the movable stud being blocked by the first housing 10, rotary movement is interrupted by the safety link 51. Referring to FIG. 12, the interfacial forces F exerted on the fixing device are analytically calculable, their directions and their values being known.
    [0048] The justification by calculation of the holding of the fixation in the event of a crash is then facilitated. Naturally, the present invention is subject to many variations as to its implementation. Although several embodiments have been described, it is well understood that it is not conceivable to exhaustively identify all possible modes. It is of course conceivable to replace a means described by equivalent means without departing from the scope of the present invention.
