Abstract

Le but de la présente invention consiste, même dans le cas où il est possible de supprimer de la façon appropriée la déformation d'un élément crochet en réduisant la dimension d'un trou d'insertion ménagé dans un renforcement de pare-chocs, à permettre qu'une partie barre de l'élément crochet puisse s'insérer dans le trou d'insertion et être fixée de la façon appropriée au moyen d'un écrou. Un module de fixation de crochet (12) comprend les éléments suivants qui sont préalablement assemblés en une seule pièce par soudage : un écrou (16) ; une plaque d'attache (20) ; une ferrure (22) ; un renforcement de pare-chocs (24) ; une boîte d'écrasement (26). Etant donné que le module de fixation de crochet (12), dans l'état précité, est attaché à un élément latéral (14) par l'intermédiaire de la plaque d'attache (20) au moyen d'un boulon (32), la précision d'alignement mutuelle des éléments ci-dessus peut être facilement assurée dans l'étape de soudage. En conséquence, l'invention peut être réalisée de manière à éviter un désalignement entre l'écrou (16) monté sur la plaque d'attache (20) et la rondelle de renforcement (74) disposée sur le renforcement de pare-chocs (24) et de telle sorte que, grâce à la réduction de la dimension du trou débouchant (72) (le trou d'insertion) de la rondelle de renforcement (74), la déformation de la partie barre (54) est encore évitée de la façon appropriée.
