ARRANGEMENT FOR FIXING A TUBULAR ELEMENT ON A STRUCTURAL ELEMENT OF A MOTOR VEHICLE BODY
The invention concerns an arrangement (10) for fixing a tubular shift cylinder (12), between two mounting and locking positions in a motor vehicle body, comprising means for blocking the cylinder (12) in axial translation including, from the front rearwards, a transverse surface of the cylinder (12), axial elastic means, a body wall (20), pierced with an orifice (18), and a transverse eye mounting (34) of the cylinder (12) passing through a cutout (40) of the orifice (18) and enabling to immobilise the cylinder (12) axially when a rotation of the cylinder (12) locks it by squeezing the wall (20) between the support surface, the axial elastic means and the eye mounting (34). The invention is characterised in that the means immobilising the body (16) in rotation comprise a ferrule (56) linked with the cylinder (16) whereof an axial pin (68) passes through the wall (20) orifice (18) to be urged to stop against the wall (20) when the body (16) is locked in rotation, and whereof the axial teeth (72) bite into the wall (20) when the cylinder rotates (12) to immobilise it.
