Abstract
The present invention relates to a clip for fastening a panel on a support, in particular for an automobile equipment. The clip comprises a core and a cage forming two separate parts centered on a central axis. The core includes a head and a body. The body has an outer profile forming an helix, slender on either side of the inflection plane transverse to the central axis. The cage includes a base surrounding the head and a torsion bar housed in the core. The core and the torsion bar include complementary means for rotational securing around the central axis. The bar is elastically deformed during a rotation of the core around the central axis. The invention also relates to a method for implementing such a clip, as well as a motor vehicle comprising such a clip.
