Abstract

Cette invention se rapporte à une structure de couplage qui permet de raccorder entre eux, de manière libérable, une pluralité d'éléments de transmission. Des structures non vibrantes maintiennent le contact entre une seconde extrémité d'un premier élément de transmission (84, 204, 256, 272) et une première extrémité du second élément (86, 224, 258, 272). L'invention se rapporte également à un procédé consistant à utiliser une première structure non vibrante (52, 202, 252) pour supporter le premier élément de transmission (84, 204, 256) et une seconde structure non vibrante (122, 222, 253) pour supporter le second élément de transmission (86, 224, 258). Ledit procédé consiste également à fixer la première structure non vibrante (52, 202, 252) à la seconde structure non vibrante (122, 222, 253) de manière à maintenir le contact entre une extrémité de couplage du premier élément de transmission (84, 204, 256) et une extrémité de couplage du second élément de transmission (86, 224, 258) sans utiliser de raccord fileté entre le premier et le second composants.
