Abstract

Device for connecting two parallel mounting channels (4,5) to one another during the installation of a temporary wall. An anchoring member (6,7) is inserted into each channel (4,5). Connecting pieces (1,2) have on one front end flexible stop lugs (1c), which interact with corresponding stop surface in the anchoring member (6,7). The two connecting pieces (1,2) are held together by a clamp (3) that is slid on. The device can be made largely of plastic and can be assembled quickly and reliably without tools.
