Abstract
A device for connecting to a vessel an accessory has an active portion that includes a first, second and third member and a chamber. The first member ensures rigid attachment of the device to the vessel, defines a passageway, acts as a holder for the second member and as a translation guide between a first distal state and a second proximal state, contributes as a guide for the third member and participates in defining the chamber. The second member acts as a holder for the third member rigidly attached thereon, defines a mobile member capable of sliding between the first distal state and the second proximal state. The third member includes a head, and acts as a holder for the accessory rigidly attached thereon, defines a mobile member capable of sliding between the first distal state and the second proximal state, ensures in the first distal state the tight closing of the opening using the head, ensures in the second proximal state a protection of the active proximal portion using the head, and participates in defining the chamber.
