Summary:A tie down assembly (10) including a cup (12), a cross-shaped crossbar (14) that is fastened removably to and positioned within a recess (36) of the cup (12), and a discshaped plate (16) that is fastened removably to the cup (12) and/or the crossbar (14). The crossbar (14) is fastened to the cup (12) by a plurality of fasteners (18), while the plate (16) is fastened to the cup (12) and/or the crossbar (14) by at least one fastener (18). The cup (12) is installed within a hole formed within a first surface (94) of a structure (92), and the plate (16) is positioned against an opposite surface (96) of the structure (92). When the plate (16) is attached, a compressive load is introduced and squeezes the first and second surfaces (94, 96) of the structure (92) together, such that most of the load is borne down the center of the fastener (18) attaching the plate (12). L'invention porte sur un ensemble arrimage (10) comprenant une cuvette (12), une barre transversale en forme de croix (14) fixée de manière amovible à et positionnée à l'intérieur d'une cavité (36) de la cuvette (12) et une plaque en forme de disque (16) fixée de manière amovible à la cuvette (12) et/ou à la croix (14). La croix (14) est fixée à la cuvette (12) par une pluralité de dispositifs de fixation (18), tandis que la plaque (16) est fixée à la cuvette (12) et/ou à la croix (14) par au moins un dispositif de fixation (18). La cuvette (12) est installée dans un trou ménagé à l'intérieur d'une première surface (94) d'une structure (92), et la plaque (16) est positionnée contre une surface opposée (96) de la structure (92) lorsque la plaque (16) est fixée, un effort de compression étant introduit et comprimant les première et seconde surfaces (94, 96) de la structure (92) l'une contre l'autre, de telle sorte que la plus grande partie de l'effort est supportée par la partie inférieure du centre du dispositif de fixation (18) fixant la plaque (12).
