- the first jaw is formed by a sleeve locked in frictional rotation in the second flange.
- the threaded rod and the second jaw is formed by a screw.
- the threaded rod comprises a tip adapted to receive a screwdriver, and in that the second jaw is formed by a nut screwing onto the threaded rod).
- the nut is integral with the spacer.
- the orifice of the attachment support of the accessory is open longitudinally in U.
- FIG. 1 is a schematic representation of an accessory facade of an internal combustion engine of a motor vehicle.
- FIG. 2 is a schematic representation of a first embodiment of the invention.
- FIG. 3 is a schematic representation of a second embodiment of the invention.

- FIG. 1 shows an accessory frontage 1 of an internal combustion engine 2 of a motor vehicle.
- the accessory facade comprises peripheral accessories to the engine block of the internal combustion engine 2 intended to be driven by a drive belt.
- the accessory facade comprises an accessory 3 taking the form of an air conditioning compressor and an alternator 4.
- the accessory facade may include other accessories such as a water pump, or a power steering pump.
- the alternator 4 is fixed on the engine 2, at the engine block, on a single support or as in the embodiment illustrated in Figure 1 two separate supports 5a, 5b alternator provided for this purpose.
- a drive belt 6 is installed around a drive pulley 7 associated with the alternator 4, a drive pulley 8 associated with the compressor 2, and a pulley 9 mounted on a crankshaft 10.
- a tensioner January 1 ensures proper tensioning of the belt 6.
- the tensioner January 1 includes a roller 12 rotatably mounted on a support 13 and intended to bear on the belt 6 to stretch this one.
- the tensioner 1 1 further comprises a compression spring 14, for example a helical spring, one end of which is connected to the support 13 and a pivot 15 connected to the support 13 of the tensioner.
- the tensioner further comprises two attachment points 16a, 16b.
- the first attachment point 16a of the tensioner is disposed at the other end of the spring 14 so that the spring 14 is substantially placed between the roller 12 and the first attachment point 16a.
- the second attachment point 16b is on the pivot 15.
- the alternator 4 two attachment points, each intended to cooperate with one of the attachment points 16a, 16b of the tensioner 1 1 and one of the brackets 5a, 5b of fixing the alternator.
- the first attachment point 16a, an attachment point of the alternator 4 and the fixing support 5a are clamped together by common clamping means.
- the second attachment point 16b, the other attachment point of the alternator and the other support 5b is the same for the second attachment point 16b, the other attachment point of the alternator and the other support 5b.
- Figure 2 now shows a first embodiment of the clamping means common to the alternator 4 at the point of attachment 16b of the pivot 15 of the belt tensioner.
- the attachment point of the alternator 4 comprises a first and a second flange 17, 18. In each of the flanges 17, 18 is respectively arranged an opening 19a, 19b opening. The orifices 19a, 19b of each flange are coaxial.
- the pivot 15 comprises a spacer 20 pierced with an opening 21 opening.
- the spacer is rotatably mounted in the support 13.
- a damping material 22 may also be provided around the spacer for vibratory isolation between the spacer and the support 13.
- the support 5b also comprises an opening 23 opening.
- the clamping means consist of a screw 24, with a head 25 adapted to receive a screwing tool and a threaded rod 26, integral with the head 25, through which is passed through their respective orifices l. spacer 20, the first flange 17 of the alternator, the support 5b.
- the threaded rod 26 is then screwed into a keyed sleeve 27 disposed in the orifice 19b of the second flange 18.
- This sleeve 27 is locked in rotation by a key 28.
- This key 28 remains slidable in the direction of the threaded rod, so that at the tightening the screw head comes into contact with the spacer 20 to clamp the spacer 20 against the first flange 17 of the alternator 4 while the sleeve 27 comes into contact with the support 5b for fixing the 5b mounting bracket against the first flange 17 of the alternator 4.
- the screw head 25 and the sleeve 27 thus form the jaws of the clamping device.
- the key 28 can be replaced by another system blocking the rotation along the axis of the screw, for example the sleeve 27 can be locked in rotation by friction relative to the flange 18.
- FIG. 3 now shows a second embodiment of the clamping means common to the alternator 4 at the point of attachment 16b of the pivot 15 of the belt tensioner.
- This second embodiment differs from the first in that the clamping means consist of a threaded rod 26 'with one end a tip 28 adapted to receive a screwing tool, for example a tip type "screw-stars", plus known as the Torx brand, and a nut 29.
- the threaded rod 26 ' is passed through their respective holes through the spacer 20, the first flange 17 of the alternator, the support 5b.
- the threaded rod 26 ' is then screwed into a keyed sleeve 27 or another system blocking the rotation along the axis of the screw disposed in the orifice 19b of the second flange 18.
- the screwing is done by means of the end piece 28 and the screwing tool.
- the nut is then screwed onto the threaded rod 26 'so that when tightening the nut 29 comes into contact with the spacer 20 to clamp the spacer 20 against the first flange 17 of the alternator 4 while the socket 27 comes into contact with the mounting bracket 5b for the mounting bracket 5b against the first flange 17 of the alternator 4.
- the nut 29 and the sleeve 27 thus form the jaws of the clamping device.
- FIG. 4 now shows a third embodiment of the clamping means common to the alternator 4 at the point of attachment 16b of the pivot 15 of the belt tensioner.
- This third embodiment differs from the second in that the nut 29 is integral with the spacer 20.
- the threaded rod 26 ' is screwed into the nut 29 through the spacer 20, the first flange 17 of the alternator, the support 5b.
- the screwing is done by means of the end piece 28 and the screwing tool.
- the threaded rod 26 ' is then screwed into the keyed socket 27 or another system blocking the rotation along the axis of the screw disposed in the orifice 19b of the second flange 18, which clamps the spacer 20 against the first flange 17 of the alternator 4 while the sleeve 27 comes into contact with the support 5b for fixing the support 5b against the first flange 17 of the alternator 4.
- the nut 29 and the sleeve 27 thus form the jaws of the clamping device.
- clamping means described are also suitable as clamping means common to the alternator 4, at the point of attachment 16a of the compression spring 14 and its support 5a for fixing.
- the orifice 23 of the attachment support, pivot side or spring side can be opened longitudinally so as to form a U, which allows to set up the rod in the mounting bracket, even when the rod is already partially screwed to the socket 27.
- the keyed sleeve can be replaced by a sliding nut in the flange 18, the inner shape of the orifice 19b being in this case adapted to the outer shape of the nut.
