Abstract
To ensure the disconnectable connection of two components with a non-circular outline, in particular an oval outline, a rotatable ring of oval shape is fitted on a first component, cooperating with a second component by a bayonet system. Rotation of the ring is made possible by positioning at least four arc of a circle shaped segments along the desired outline with a space between the ends of adjacent segments. The link between these ends is made by articulated components.
