(54) A method of assembling a rotatable bayonet joint and such joint


(57) A method is provided for the assembly of a first and a second element that are, following assembly, rotatable relative to each other. The first element is provided with a mounting aperture (4) with bayonet protrusions (5), and the second element is provided with a mounting pin (7) with bayonet protrusions (8) that are complementary with the bayonet protrusions (5) in the mounting aperture (4). Following assembly of the first and the second element a third element is mounted on the first or the second element, which third element allows rotation between the first and the second elements, but prevents the first and the second elements from being, at a later stage, rotated to the mounting position.
Such rotatable joint between a first and a second element is also provided.
