  • the blocking device can be modified in many ways. There can be several Noses 116 may be present ( Figure 19 shows two opposite noses). critical is that the cross section of the bolt 114 is out of round and the cross section of the bearing opening 128th is correspondingly out of round, so that the two non-circular cross-sectional sections mutually engaged can be brought. Furthermore, it is possible to design the blocking device in such a way that that not the pivoting of the feeler lever 42, but directly the displaceability the locking member 50 or the mobility of the plunger 58 of the locking device 52nd is blocked.
  • FIGS. 22 to 25 schematically show a modified embodiment of a blocking device, when in the in Figures 22 and 25 to the left open space of the holding head 8, a lever 140 is mounted.
  • the storage of the lever via a slot 142, through which engages an unillustrated, secured in the hammer head pin through.
  • the lever 140 is provided with lateral arms 142 for ease of use.
  • connection assemblies of the type described can be blocked, not only used in connection assemblies of the type described but in all types of automatic connection assemblies whose automatic function (Self-releasability of two via the connection assembly with each other connected corner fittings in the presence of predetermined conditions) by blocking a Component or moving a component can be locked in a blocking position, for example also connection assemblies, as described in the European patent EP 1 268 311 B1 are described, or even connection assemblies whose automatic function without a movable Part of the connection assembly itself is achieved. Accordingly reserves the Applicant before, the blocking device to the subject of a separate patent application do.
