Abstract
Device for linking two objects, one of these objects (1) bearing sections of mobile bayonets (3) connected by connecting rods (4) to enable them to be controlled simultaneously. The other object bears fixed bayonet sections. Mobile bayonet sections (3) are preferably composed of two concentric rings (7) and (9) connected by a freeable ratchet mechanism (12) for breaking up the movement into one phase for establishing the link by the bayonets and one wedge clamping phase. The rotation of the bayonets is only authorized if the action of a locking system (20) is interrupted. Application for the linking of portions of aeronautical, space or submarine vehicles.
