- connection A with the connection elements 1, 2, 3 is formed as a unitary body
- upper and lower molds with casting recesses in the form of the connection A are used, and the molten material is poured into the molds to form the connection A to manufacture.
- connection B If the connections A, B (FIG. 2) are to be coupled to one another, the connection B is moved in the direction of the arrow 7 until a hook 4b of the connecting element 4 abuts the hook 1d of the connecting element 1. At this time, the hooks of the other connecting elements 2, 3, 5, 6 also in contact with each other. Then the connection B is pressed further in the direction of the arrow 7 in order to push the hooks of the connecting elements 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 over the protruding hooks until they snap into one another.
- FIG. 4 shows a plan view of the connection shown in FIG. 2, while FIG. 5 shows a front view of connection A shown in FIG. 4.
- Figure 6 is a side view of connection A-according to Figure 4.
- the hooks la, 1d, 2c, 2d, 3d of the connecting elements 1, 2, 3 have cut-out recesses ld ', 2c', 2c ", 3d ', which are shown in FIGS. 4 and 5. These cut-out recesses ld', 2c ', 2c ", 3d' serve to prevent the adjacent hooks, such as hooks 1d, 2c, from overlapping due to manufacturing defects. These cut-out recesses have been omitted from the illustrations in FIGS. 1 to 3.
- Figure 7 is a perspective view of another embodiment of the invention.
- the reference number 11 denotes a connecting element with an essentially S-shaped configuration and with semicircular grooves 11a, 11b.
- the reference numerals 11, 13 designate connecting elements, which all have the same shape as the connecting element 11.
- a single connection is likewise formed by the connection elements 11, 12, 13.
- connection to the connecting elements 11, 12, 13 is connected to the connection to the connecting elements 14, 15, 16 by a connecting pin 17.
- Each connecting element has semicircular grooves like the grooves 11a, 11b of the connecting element 11.
- the grooves 11a, 11b are provided on the surfaces of the connecting element 11, which touch the connecting elements 14, 18. These grooves 11a, 11b together with the respectively opposite grooves 14a, 18a of the connecting elements 14, 18 form through-bores into which the connecting pin 17 is inserted.
- FIG. 8 shows a perspective view of the connection shown in FIG. 7
- FIG. 9 is a perspective view of the connecting elements of one of the connections shown in FIG.
