Connection arrangement for detachable connection of components with aligned openings, includes a bolt, rotatable around its own axis, having tapered toward a free end, and at least two lateral notches, and retaining spring, including at least two spring-loaded ends, where spring-loaded ends are arranged to hook into lateral notches when first and second components are connected. At least lateral notches of bolt are arranged to project through opening of second component. Vibration-damping ring includes peripheral groove to receive edge of opening of first component and ring opening. Bush is located in ring opening to guide bolt. Movable ring, having outer diameter that is smaller than diameter of opening of first component and that is larger than diameter of opening of second component, is arranged on bolt. When first and second components are connected, movable ring is positioned between lower side of vibration-damping ring and upper side of second component.
