Abstract: A connection bracket is provided in order to connect a connection, such as a shackle, hook or ring, to a flange, in particular to a flange of a tower element of a wind turbine, wherein the connection bracket (1) has two fixing sections (3a,3b), which are arranged at a distance (D) from each other and each have a support surface (3c) for laying the connection bracket (1) against the flange and a connection section (4), wherein the connection section (4) is formed from two supporting sections (7a, 7b) each firmly connected to one of the fixing sections (3a, 3b) and standing thereon, and a center section (6) carried by these supporting sections (7a, 7b) and firmly connected to them, such that the connection section (4) bridges the distance (D) between the fixing sections (3a, 3b) at a distance (Y) from the plane (E) of the support surface (3c), and wherein, in a top view seen from the side of the connection bracket (1) remote from the support surface (3c), the center line (M) of the center section (6) of the con

Abstract: A sling element and a combination for coupling sling gear, to a goods item to be transported, wherein the sling element has a fastening section, into which an oblong-shaped opening is formed which leads from the upper side of the fastening section to a contact area formed on the underside of the fastening section. The combination enables the sling element to be fastened in a durably secure way even with adverse loads. This is achieved by a wedge area aligned in the longitudinal direction of the opening of the fastening section being formed on the fastening section, which wedge area runs in a plane which intersects the longitudinal axis of the opening at an acute angle and is designed as a support for a fastening member which is provided to brace the sling element on the goods item to be transported.

Abstract: A connection bracket, which is provided to connect a connection means, such as a shackle, hook or ring, to a flange, includes two fixing sections arranged at a distance from each other and each having a support surface for laying the connection bracket against the flange and a connection section. The connection section is formed from two supporting sections each firmly connected to one of the fixing sections and standing thereon, and a centre section carried by these supporting sections and firmly connected to them, such that the connection section bridges the distance between the fixing sections at a distance from the plane of the support surface. In a top view seen from the side of the connection bracket remote from the support surface, the centre line of the centre section of the connection section is arranged outside the envelope of the fixing sections.
