A device for enabling a first part to be detachably assembled to a second part, the device comprising a first fastener and a second fastener fixed respectively to the first part and to the second part, assembly being obtained by engaging the fasteners along an "Engagement" axis, with engagement causing a retaining component of the first fastener to be inserted by deformation into a reception component of the second fastener, wherein: the first fastener is fitted with return means tending to move it away from the second fastener; the second fastener includes resilient means exerting pressure on the retaining component when inserted in the reception component to keep it therein, said resilient means being fitted with a return device to move them away from the retaining component during detachment; and the retaining component and the reception component are complementary in shape.
Connection arrangement for detachably connecting a first component with a second component, the first and second components having aligned openings. The arrangement includes a retaining bolt including an internal opening. At least one side wall opening and an external ring-shaped retaining groove is provided. The retaining bolt is adapted to be connected to the first component. A retaining-spring arrangement is provided having at least one leaf-spring arm and being adapted to be connected to the second component. The ring-shaped retaining groove of the retaining bolt is adapted to extend through the aligned opening of the second component. A free end of the at least one leaf-spring arm is engagable with the ring-shaped retaining groove. A movable disengaging element is provided and is adapted to disengage the at least one leaf-spring arm from the retaining groove of the retaining bolt. A detent pin is movably disposed in the internal opening of the retaining bolt and is engagable with the detaching element via the at least one side-wall opening.
The present invention is used to fasten a cover around an external faucet. The cover protects the faucet. The cover is thermally insulated and has a cavity that is structured and arranged to receive the faucet. The cover has a wall, which wall has an opening therein. The wall has a first side and a second side, with the first side being located in the cavity. There is a coupler that has an anchor and a shank. The shank is received by the wall opening and extends out therefrom. The anchor is located inside of the cavity. The anchor is structured and arranged to be coupled to the faucet. There is a stop located on the shank at a position that is outside of the cavity. A spring is located on the shank so as to be interposed between the stop and the cover wall. The spring provides resiliency between the stop and the cover wall so as to allow the coupler to be pressed in towards the faucet without moving the stop.
