Abstract

A connecting means for two parts in a fluid conducting assembly. The connecting means comprises coupling means located on joint sides opposite to one another on the parts, such means rendering possible a displaceable attachment together of the parts with an interlocking effect in the assembly direction. Furthermore connecting members are provided to act on opposite sides of the parts, of which at least one connecting member, is able to be locked using holding and securing means on the pushed together parts in order to set the relative position of same. Simultaneously the setting in place of a clamping means acting on the connecting members is facilitated. The connecting means renders possible a simple, secure and rapid coupling of the parts.
