French term or phrase: étrier
Hi there,

"Enfin, le boitier support comprend avantageusement des moyens de fixation, par exemple de type étrier ou serre-joint, dudit boitier support à un meuble, tel qu'une table ou d'un bureau."

My translation :

Finally, the support casing advantageously comprises fixing means, for example of étrier or C-clamp type, of said support casing to a piece of furniture such as a table or a desk

Could it be a "U-bolt"? there are many alternatives on GDT...

Please help
Thank you

Explanation:
I think we've been mizzled by "Mechanics / Mech Engineering / levier de control de vitesse".

The only case I can see a gear change being fitted to a desk or table is if it's for a computer game, which is not quite what I see as "mechanics".

Sorry, I think yoke is not right. For some reason I thopught it had to do with a speed control lever, which it obviously does not from the text I read. U-bolt seems more appropriate in this context.

so it is a case which is being attached. Without a picture hopeless to know what this étrier looks like.
Above some names I have found in English, translated as étrier into French.
Then more general - mount / support
