Device For Coupling Two Components

Abstract

A device for coupling two components ( 1, 2 ) in particular two rods or bars, with two coupling parts ( 3 ) which can in each case be arranged on those ends of the components ( 1, 2 ) which are to be coupled, and with a connection means ( 4 ) which can be brought into engagement with the coupling parts ( 3 ), is configured and developed to ensure secure coupling of components even when the prepositioning is unfavorable, such that the connection means ( 4 ) comprises at least two holding elements ( 5 ) which can be arranged against one another to engage around the coupling parts ( 3 ) and which can be fixed to one another by means of at least one clamping device ( 6 ).
