    DEVICE AND ASSEMBLY SYSTEM FOR SPORTS EXERCISE STRUCTURE, SPORTS EXERCISE SYSTEM, AND ASSEMBLY METHOD
    RELATED
    The present invention relates to the general field of training or physical exercise and more particularly the equipment for sporting exercise such as structures or exercise frames.
    More particularly, the invention relates to an assembly device for assembling an accessory to a sports exercise structure, said structure comprising at least one hole. The invention also relates to an assembly system comprising an assembly device. The invention also relates to a sports exercise system comprising at least: - a sports exercise structure comprising at least one hole, - an accessory, - a male connector, - and a device for assembling said accessory to said structure. The invention finally relates to a method for constructing a sports exercise system comprising a sports exercise structure comprising at least one hole.
    In order to facilitate the practice of sports or physical exercise, it is known to use structures in the form of gantries (also referred to by the English term "rack"), which generally allow users, thanks to their modularity, to be able to perform various physical exercises such as push-ups. These known structures comprise several wooden posts, between which can be positioned exercise bars to which users can for example suspend (by the force of arms for example to perform tractions). For this purpose, cavities, in which are housed at their ends the exercise bars, are formed in the posts at different heights of the ground.
    It is thus possible to vary the height of these exercise bars, and thus to multipfier the possibilities of exercises, but also to take into account the morphology of the users who can use them.
    These known structures give overall satisfaction but do not have less disadvantages, particularly from a point of view of the safety of use and the durability of the structure.
    In particular, the posts are exposed to a risk of deterioration and wear due to repeated insertions and extractions of the ends of the drill bars in the cavities in the posts. This risk of deterioration and wear mainly concerns the cavities and their vicinity (for example risk of enlargement of the cavities and / or deformation of their edges). This can result in premature wear and deterioration and premature deterioration of the columns, which can for example result in deterioration of the paint that may cover the structure, by the appearance of scratches or traces of shocks on the surface. structure.
    In addition, there exists with these known structures a risk of dislocation of the exercise bar during use, in particular in response to the movements of the user who could therefore fall and get hurt. This risk of accidental extraction of the end of the bar out of the cavity in which it was, may be accentuated by the possible degradation of the connection between the bar and the cavity mentioned above. Indeed, as mentioned above repeated friction and shock will tend to deform and enlarge the cavities and thereby increase the clearance between the bar and the post, thus degrading the quality and reliability of the mechanical connection between the bar and the post .
    Another disadvantage of the known structures stems from the large number of cavities made in the columns. Indeed, in order to guarantee their modularity and versatility, the designers of these structures have generally equipped them with a cavity / bar ratio much greater than 1. In other words, there are many more cavities, or pairs of cavities. bars, which means that many cavities remain unoccupied (or empty) after the installation of the exercise bars and when using the structure. In addition, the posts of the known structures may also have cut corners to make notches for receiving the bars. But these notches then form pointed and sharp projections, so that it results in serious risks, particularly from the point of view of the safety of users and the durability of the structure. Indeed, the users can, in particular inadvertently, or play (for example for children), introduce the fingers into these cavities and / or notches and risk injury (cutting, fracture, etc.).
    But these unused holes also present a risk from the point of view of the durability of the structure itself. Indeed, all these unused holes are as many points of entry for foreign bodies (water, insects, sand, etc.) inside the elements of the structure, and particularly inside the posts, compromising then the durability of the structure.
    These security and durability problems then considerably limit the use and deployment of the currently known structures.
    In particular, given the security problems mentioned above (for example the risk of dislocation of the bars and the risk of finger injury), the known structures are generally reserved for an informed public (adult sportsman for example) so that it It is difficult to envisage installing these known structures in public and / or collective spaces (gardens, parks, school courtyards, gymnasiums, etc.) where any user (including children) could have access to them without recommendations. specific and thus risk getting hurt. In addition, given the sustainability problems mentioned above (for example the penetration of foreign bodies inside the structure) it is hardly possible to install these known structures outside (gardens, parks, stadiums, beaches, etc.) where many elements (water, snow, sand, insects, etc.) could enter the structure and prematurely degrade the structure, including rotting.
    The objects assigned to the present invention therefore aim to remedy the various disadvantages listed above and to propose a new assembly device for assembling an accessory to a sports exercise structure which avoids the premature degradation of said structure and / or said accessory and to improve the safety of use.

    The objects assigned to the invention are also achieved by means of a method of constructing a sports exercise system comprising a sporting exercise structure comprising at least one hole, said method being characterized in that comprises a step of insertion into said hole of a hollow main body which is provided with at least a first opening and in that it further comprises one or other of the following alternative steps: closing said first opening by means of a first removable cap - or a step of assembling an accessory to said structure, during which a male connector is removably received within said hollow main body by insertion of said male connector within the main body by said first opening, for connecting said accessory to the hollow main body. Other features and advantages of the invention will become apparent and will appear in more detail on reading the description given below, with reference to the accompanying drawings, given solely by way of illustrative and non-limiting example, in which: Figure 1 is an overall perspective view of a sports exercise structure equipped with an assembly device as defined by the invention. FIG. 2 is a detailed and perspective view of accessories (an exercise bar and a half-circle square) mounted on the sports exercise structure shown in FIG. 1 by means of assembly devices such as as defined by the invention. FIG. 3 is a view in detail and in perspective (along another axis) of a vertical post of the sports exercise structure visible in FIG. 2, said post comprising several assembly devices as defined by FIG. invention and in particular, from top to bottom: o an assembly device alone o an assembly device which assembles an exercise bar to the pole o an assembly device which assembles a semicircular bracket to the post. - Figure 4 is an overall perspective view along a first axis of an assembly device as defined by the invention. FIG. 5 is an overall perspective view along another axis of the assembly device shown in FIG. 4. FIG. 6 is a front view of the assembly device shown in FIG. Figure 7 is a sectional view of the assembly device shown in Figure 4 along the axis AA shown in Figure 6. The invention relates as such an assembly device 5 for assembling an accessory to a structure 1, as illustrated in particular in FIG. 1. By "assembly device" is meant any device, means, part or set of parts whose purpose is to allow the assembly, it is ie the union or assembly, of several elements between them, in this case, an accessory with a sports exercise structure. Preferably this assembly, or this assembly, is non-permanent, that is to say it can be dismantled, advantageously without any particular tool, which makes this operation particularly easy for a user who would like to change said accessory to replace it with a other or change its location within the structure 1.
    The term accessory may designate any element intended to be assembled or mounted to the sporting exercise structure 1, such as for example an offset bracket, for example intended to propose an extension of said structure 1 or a square in half. circle 42 for example to receive a basketball net or to provide support points for a user to perform sports exercises (for example visible in Figure 1) or any other element that could mount said structure 1 and that would allow a user to perform a physical exercise. According to an advantageous embodiment, said accessory is an exercise bar 31, that is to say a bar from which the user can perform a plurality of exercises, with or without accessory elements. For example, the user can simply hang on the said bar, in particular to perform traction exercises, or hang on the said bar different elements such as straps or elastics, the latter allowing the user to vary the nature of the exercises (stretching, flexing, etc.). Advantageously, said exercise bar 31 is of round section or any other section having good ergonomics, and made of a solid and resistant material, preferably to withstand the mechanical forces generated by the suspension of a man, such as steel stainless for example. Preferably, the flexural strength of said bar is greater than 2000 N. The expression "sporting exercise structure" advantageously designates a structure, or a gantry, of sufficient size to enable a user to perform various physical exercises, and in particular Tractions. In other words, the user is able to hang by the hands, arms extended to said structure 1, the latter then being advantageously of a height of at least 1.50 m, and preferably of the order of 3 m. Advantageously, and as illustrated for example in Figure 1, said structure 1 comprises at least one amount extending longitudinally between a first and a second end. An amount may for example designate a vertical pole 21 or a horizontal cross member 22, that is to say a structural element that allows to build and maintain said structure 1.
    Advantageously, said structure 1 is intended to form a fixed frame, for example in the form of a cage (or compartment) delimited by several uprights, and preferably by several vertical posts 21 (for example four) advantageously arranged at the four corners of a rectangle or square. The user can then for example be placed inside this frame to perform his physical exercises, including using the aforementioned accessories or accessories. Advantageously, said vertical posts 21 are interconnected in pairs, that is to say in pairs, by at least one horizontal cross member 22 so as to give said cage a certain rigidity and strength. Preferably said structure 1 comprises four vertical posts arranged to delimit the edges of a rectangular parallelepiped and four horizontal crosspieces, arranged at the upper ends of said vertical posts so as to form four other edges of said parallelepiped, and thus participate fully in the integrity and mechanical strength of said structure 1. Advantageously the distance between said vertical posts is substantially between 1 and 4 m and preferably corresponds to the length of a horizontal cross member 22, that is to say substantially 1, 5m. Preferably, said structure defines a cage (or compartment) sufficiently rigid and whose mechanical strength allows at least one user to hang within the latter.
    Preferably, said structure 1 also comprises, as a structural element, a baseplate 23 (for example visible in FIG. 1) intended to be placed on the ground and to ensure the fixing and the maintenance of a vertical post 21, for example by means of a fixing plate 231 or a fixing bracket. Advantageously, said structure 1 comprises a plurality of base plates 23, interconnected, so that they participate in the rigidity and integrity of said structure 1, maintaining a fixed gap between the various vertical columns. In addition, said baseplate 23 frees said structure 1 from constraints related to the ground and thus allows installation of the latter on a multitude of different types of soil (grass, gravel, concrete, earth, etc.), since no upright, and especially no vertical pole 21 need to be fixed directly to the ground. Thus heavy masonry work (foundations) are avoided thanks to said fixing plates 231 and base plates 23. Advantageously, said base plates 23 are made of a sufficiently strong and heavy material to give said structure 1 a center relatively low gravity and thus guarantee the stability of the latter. Said base plate 23 may also constitute an invention as such.
    Particularly advantageously, it is possible to vary the size of said structure 1 by the number and arrangement of these structural elements. Indeed, it is perfectly possible, for example by joining to the previously defined structure 1 (and visible in FIG. 1) other structural elements and in particular other base plates 23, other vertical posts 21 and other horizontal crosspieces 22, so as to construct a second cage contiguous (that is to say, juxtaposed and connected) to the first previously made and described. To do this, it is for example possible to connect to the previous structure 1 (or previous cage) at least two vertical posts 21 for example by means of two horizontal crosspieces 22 and a plurality of base plates 23 so as to build a second cage of parallelepiped shape, two of the vertical posts are then shared with the first cage. In other words, such an arrangement makes it possible to construct a larger, more complex sporting structure 1 that defines a plurality of cages, thereby multiplying the possibilities of use and the number of users that can exploit said structure 1 simultaneously . Thus, by virtue of these elements of remarkable structures, it is advantageously possible, without departing from the scope of the invention, to provide a sporting exercise structure 1 that is modular (that is to say flexible), which makes it possible to multiply the possibilities of applications and uses of the latter. Indeed, a small structure (for example offering only one parallelepiped space, or a single cage, as defined above and visible in Figure 1) will be particularly suitable and sought by a single user, such as a anyone who would like to install said structure 1 in his garden in order to practice his physical exercises at home in complete independence and autonomy. Conversely, a larger and more complex structure, that is to say having a plurality of parallelepiped working spaces (or a plurality of cages) will be particularly appreciated in the context of a collective and / or public use such as in a park, a square, a stadium, etc. Preferably, the size and the mechanical strength of said structure 1 allows a plurality of users and preferably between 2 and 15 users to be located inside thereof and to suspend from said structure 1, advantageously by a plurality of exercise bars 31.
    According to the invention, said structure comprises at least one hole 10 advantageously made in an amount. By hole is meant any cavity, preferably opening (that is to say through), in which it can advantageously come to introduce an external element. Preferably, said hole 10 is of substantially cylindrical shape and the drilling axis is substantially perpendicular to the surface from which it is made. Advantageously this hole 10 is intended to allow the attachment of said accessories.
    Preferably, said hole 10 is formed transversely through the entire thickness of said upright so as to form an opening hole. Said amount can indifferently have a solid or hollow structure and be made of any material sufficiently strong, rigid and resistant to give said structure 1 all its strength and mechanical integrity. For example, said amounts may be formed by wooden beams, or by metal profiles, the latter being advantageously of square or round section and preferably of hollow section. The expression "through hole" designates a hole made right through the said upright, that is to say that it passes entirely through the latter, even if the upright has a hollow section (in this case, the hole 10 then passes through at least two thicknesses of materials).
    Advantageously, said structure 1 comprises a plurality of holes 10 preferably distributed substantially uniformly over said structure 1, and this to provide a plurality of possibilities of installation of accessories. Advantageously, said holes are made within said upright along substantially perpendicular drilling axes, and preferably from perpendicular faces of said uprights in the advantageous case where the latter are of square section, as can be seen in FIG. 1. For example said holes 10 may be separated by a fixed distance (advantageously 600 mm). In this case, preferably, an assembly device 5 is inserted into each of said holes 10, and in particular so as to be detailed later, not to leave orifices that is to say holes 10, apparent, advantageously to prevent accidental or deliberate introduction of foreign body (water, dust, finger, etc.) inside said structure 1.
    Still according to the invention, said device 5 comprises at least one hollow main body 51 which is provided with at least a first opening 511 as illustrated for example in FIGS. 4 to 7. In other words, said main body 51 has a hole, i.e. a cavity, so as to define a first opening 511.
    Said hollow main body 51 is then intended on the one hand to be inserted into said hole 10 and on the other hand to removably receive a male connector. The term "male connector" refers to any part whose shape is substantially complementary to that of the hollow (or hole) of the hollow main body 51. In other words, said male connector has a shape that allows it to to fit inside the hollow main body 51, so as to achieve an assembly.
    Advantageously, said accessory forms at least partly said male connector. In other words, according to an advantageous embodiment, the accessory, and preferably an exercise bar 31 as defined above is preferably introduced by one of its ends, inside the hollow main body 51, the latter being itself introduced inside the hole 10 of the sports exercise structure 1. Thus, said physical exercise bar 31 (that is to say the accessory) is not in direct contact with the sporting exercise structure 1, since it is assembled to the latter by means of the assembly device 5. In other words, the hollow main body 51 is an intermediate piece located between the accessory and the structure sports exercise 1, which allows the assembly to confer remarkable properties and especially in terms of durability and comfort since the accessory, and in particular the exercise bar 31, is not in direct contact of the structure 1 which thus avoids any problems of scratching, friction or noise known in the structures of the prior art.
    Advantageously, said male connector is integral with said accessory, and preferably comes from material with the latter. In other words, said connector is integrated with said accessory and preferably in the continuity of the material of the latter, that is to say that the connector is made of the same material and advantageously during the same manufacturing process, that said accessory. Thus, according to a particular embodiment, said accessory may for example designate an exercise bar 31 which has, at each of its ends a specific shape that would allow it to be similar to the previously defined male connector.
    Alternatively, an attachment pin 32 forms said male connector, the latter being then advantageously used for the attachment of a specific accessory, for example an offset bracket or a semicircular bracket 42 mentioned above on said exercise structure 1. More specifically, according to this particular embodiment, and for example visible in Figure 3, said specific accessory has substantially the shape of a bracket whose part advantageously forms a complementary hollow of the shape of said amount to which it is intended to mount. Advantageously, said upright is a vertical post 21 of substantially square section and the bracket then has a U-shaped portion intended to be placed around said vertical pole 21. Preferably, this U-shaped portion comprises a through hole made advantageously through the two opposite walls of the U, this hole being intended to accommodate the fastener 5. Preferably, in order to increase the rigidity of said connecting piece 5, a fastening pin 32 is placed inside this last, so as to play the role of the previously defined male connector. Indeed, the forces applied to the specific accessory, are transmitted to the structure 1 by means of the fastener 5, but the rigidity and the mechanical strength of the latter was then considerably increased by said fixing pin 32 which thus fills the hole in the hollow main body 51.
    Thus, according to the invention, said male connector is intended to be inserted within said hollow main body 51 by the first opening 511 in order to connect said accessory and hollow main body 51. In other words, a connection, and advantageously a recess connection as will be detailed subsequently, is performed between said accessory and the hollow main body 51 through the male connector, the latter may advantageously be used directly as a connecting piece and / or as a reinforcing piece.
    Advantageously, the hollow main body 51 comprises: - a tubular side wall 514 extending between said first opening 511 and a second opening 512, the term "tubular side wall" then preferably refers to a spacer whose shape is substantially that of a tube, and a shoulder 513 located at said first opening 511, the term "shoulder" advantageously denoting a diameter increase preferably intended to serve as a support. Preferably, during insertion of the main body 51 into the hole 10, said shoulder 513 abuts against said upright, so as to immobilize in translation the hollow main body 51 within said upright. Advantageously, the outer diameter of the shoulder 513 is between 20 and 90 mm and is preferably equal to substantially 55 mm. Preferably the thickness of said shoulder 513 is between 2 and 20 mm and is substantially equal to 5 mm.
    Preferably the main body 51 has a cylindrical tube shape of circular section extending longitudinally between two ends and defining a continuous interior volume opening at each end to form respectively said first and second opening 511, 512. In other words, said hollow main body 51 has a shape of revolution, and preferably a substantially cylindrical shape, said first and second openings 511, 512 then being on each of the opposite planar faces of the cylinder, so as to define a hollow cylinder, that is to say say a tube. In this preferred case, said first and second openings 511, 512 then have the shape of a disc defining each the openings of said tube. Advantageously, the diameter of said main body 51 is adjusted to that of said hole 10, so that the main body 51 can be inserted into said hole 10 and advantageously remain there. Preferably, the adjustment in question is an adjustment with play, that is to say it allows to insert and / or remove said main body 51 within the hole 10 without excessive effort while ensuring a good centering and good guidance of said main body. In other words, the outside diameter of the hollow main body 51 substantially corresponds (with a functional clearance for the insertion and / or extraction of said body) to the diameter of the hole 10. Advantageously, the outside diameter of the main body 51 is substantially between 20 and 60 mm and preferably substantially equal to 42 mm.
    In the preferential case described above, where the hollow main body 51 has substantially the shape of a tube, the male connector will then have a substantially complementary shape cylindrical so as to be inserted inside the tube, and this in order to advantageously realize a sliding pivot connection (a cylinder inside a cylindrical hole). Advantageously, the inside diameter of the hollow main body 51 is substantially equal to the diameter of said male connector and is substantially between 10 and 60 mm and preferably substantially equal to 35 mm.
    Preferably, said hollow main body 51 is dimensioned so as to project beyond each side of the upright, as can be seen for example in FIG. 2 or 3. In other words, the length of the hollow main body 51 is greater than thickness (or section) of said amount, so that a portion of the hollow main body 51 protrudes from each side of said amount. Advantageously, the total length of the hollow main body 51 is between 50 and 400 mm and preferably between 100 and 200 mm.
    Preferably, the hollow main body 51 is made of plastic material, and is preferably made by injection molding / plastic molding, or by any other method to implement quickly, with great reproducibility and at least one piece of plastic within a mold intended to give it its final shape. In addition, the hollow main body 51 and by extension the assembly device may constitute a wear part, that is to say a part intended to wear before the other parts, and preferably before said structure 1 it -Even and before said accessory. Indeed, it is preferable for the user of the structure 1 or its owner to easily replace the assembly device 5 which is an inexpensive small part rather than to change a structural element, such as for example a vertical post 21 or a horizontal cross 22, these elements being much more bulky, difficult to replace and expensive.
    According to the invention, the assembly device 5 further comprises a first removable cap 53 intended to close said first opening 511 when the male connector is not inserted within said hollow main body 51. The term plug preferably designates any device whose main function is to block, that is to say, obscure or obstruct an opening and in this case the first opening 511 previously defined. The shape of the first plug 53 is then substantially complementary, at least over a certain part of it, to the shape of the hollow (or hole) of said hollow main body 51. Advantageously, and as illustrated for example in FIGS. at 7, said first plug 53 comprises a first outer disk 531 whose diameter is substantially greater than that of said first opening 511 so as to completely obscure the latter during the introduction of the plug.
    Said plug being removable, it is therefore advantageously provided to be put in place and removed at will, that is to say so as to plug or open said first opening 511 at will. Preferably, these closing and unclogging operations can be performed without a specific tool and by hand by a user. Particularly advantageously, said first removable cap 53 is in particular implemented when the interior of the hollow main body 51 remains unoccupied, that is to say when there is no male connector inside of this one. Said cap advantageously comprises a first tongue 533, that is to say a protrusion, which protrudes, preferably in a centrifugal direction, from the first outer disk 531.
    Preferably, the diameter of the first outer disk 531 is less than or equal to and advantageously equal to that of said shoulder 513, so that said first outer disk 531 covers, in addition to the first opening 511, the apparent surface formed by said shoulder 513. this case, only the first tongue 533 then protrudes from the shoulder 513 which easily allows a user to grasp said cap 53, in particular to remove it.
    Preferably, said first cap 53 also comprises a first ring 532 contiguous to said first outer disk 531 and intended to cooperate with the first opening 511 of the hollow main body 51. In other words, this first ring 532 projects from the first outer disk 531, so as to be inserted inside said hollow main body 51 when the plug is put in place in the first opening 511. Advantageously, the outer diameter of this first ring 532 substantially corresponds (with a slight functional clearance) to the diameter of said first opening 511 so as to be introduced therein. Thus, when the plug is in place on the first opening 511, the first outer disc 531 is in abutment, preferably in surface abutment on the hollow main body 51 and advantageously on the lining 513, while the first ring 532 is in contact with each other. interior of the hollow main body 51, advantageously according to an annular contact. Said first ring 532 may be carried out during the same manufacturing process as said first outer disk 531 (in particular by machining or molding, for example) by coming from material with the latter or, on the contrary, be attached to said disk, for example by a assembly process well known as te! such as a gluing or welding process.
    Advantageously, said first plug 53 is made of a relatively flexible material (such as for example silicone or rubber), and advantageously substantially more flexible than that in which the hollow main body 51 is made, so as to be able to slightly deform during its installation, thus ensuring optimum sealing. More precisely, it is advantageously the first ring 532 which deforms slightly when it is introduced into the first opening 511 of the hollow main body 51 in order to optimize the sealing, and in particular with a view to guaranteeing a watertight seal. water and dust. In addition this slight deformation allows to keep in place the cap and prevent it from being removed fortuitously, for example under the effect of wind or a slight shock.
    Thus, the first removable plug 53, advantageously comprising the two previously defined parts (the first outer disk 531 and the first ring 532), is remarkably adapted to be partially inserted inside the hollow main body 51 of the assembly device, and this so as to come to plug, that is to say, to obscure, the first opening 511, and preferably when no male connector is inside said hollow main body 51. This first removable plug 53 thus allows to prevent a foreign object (such as dirt, water, or a user's finger) from entering the assembly device 5.
    Indeed, when the assembly device 5 is not used, or used only partially, that is to say in particular when it is positioned in a hole 10 of the structure 1 but does not have, in its hollow main body 51 a male connector, the first removable plug 53 previously described advantageously allows to close the first opening 511, and this for reasons of durability (the water can not penetrate inside the structure 1), and / or safety (a user can not introduce his fingers inside). Conversely, when a male connector is inside the hollow main body 51, the orifice of the latter is already closed (by said male connector) which renders useless the use of said first plug, or even incompatible with the use of the latter to the extent that it is quite possible and even preferable that the length of the male connector is substantially greater than the length of the hollow main body 51.
    Preferably, the assembly device comprises a substantially flexible link 55 connecting said first removable plug 53 to said main body 51, that is to say that said first plug 53 is attached by a link 55 to said main body 51, in order to to prevent a user from mislaying said plug when it is not used to close the first opening 511, as previously described. In other words, said first removable cap 53 is connected, that is to say attached by a link 55, to said main body 51. The term "link" here designates any element that makes it possible to connect an element with another, while maintaining a relative freedom of movement between the two elements. Thus, one can for example use a link implementing a substantially flexible element such as a rope, a wire or a chain. Preferably, said link 55 may be constituted by a substantially flexible band of the material constituting said first plug (silicone or elastic for example). Advantageously, said first plug 53 is connected to the main body 51 by a plurality of links 55, and preferably two, in order to limit the risk of loss of said plug in case of breakage of one of said links.

    Advantageously, the main body 51 comprises a tubular side wall 514 comprising a first orifice 515 and the attachment element 52 comprises a pin intended to be threaded into both said orifice 515 as well as into a hole in the connector male. In other words, said fastening element 52 makes it possible to make a recess connection, that is to say it makes it possible to block all the possible movements between the male connector and the hollow main body 51. To do this , and according to a preferred embodiment, on the one hand, said connector comprises in a radial direction a through hole in which is intended to be inserted said fastening member 52, for example a pin. On the other hand, the hollow main body 51 also comprises, in a radial direction, a first opening 515 opening, advantageously made radially through the tubular side wall 514 and also intended to receive said fastening element 52. last crosses both the hollow main body 51 and the male connector which allows to fully immobilize the latter in the hollow main body 51 and thus to create a flush connection. Advantageously, the diameter of said first orifice 515 is between 2 and 20 mm and is substantially equal to 8 mm, so as to correspond substantially to that of the fastening element 52.
    Advantageously, said fastening element 52 may be connected to the hollow main body 51, for example by means of a substantially flexible link such as a rope or a chain.
    Preferably, said attachment member 52 is also adapted to attach said second plug 54 removably to said main body 51. In other words, said second plug 54 interacts with the fastener 52, the latter being advantageously located close to the second opening 512. In other words, in addition to advantageously traversing the hollow main body 51 and the male connector as previously defined, the fastening element 52, preferably consisting of a pin, also passes preferentially through the second removable cap 54, in particular via a second orifice 544, advantageously made radially in the second ring 542. Thus, when the second removable cap 54 and the attachment element 52 are in place, it it is no longer possible to remove said second plug 54. In other words, to be able to remove the second removable plug 54, First, it is necessary to remove the attachment member 52.
