a flange for retaining the second part; and
a pin having a foot, a body and a head, the pin being configured to be axially inserted by the foot into a cavity of a female element attached to the first part, the foot including a male assembly member configured to axially hold the pin in the female element, the body having a groove; wherein the flange of the male element includes:
an axial opening for receiving the pin and enabling the flange to be moved axially on the pin from a first position to a second position in response to a pull-out force applied to the first or second part;
