Abstract: A device for detachably connecting a bag to a bar has a securing clip to be attached with a first side to a bag and a load hook pivotably connected to a second side of the securing clip so as to pivot about a pivot axis extending parallel to and above the bar. The load hook, when the bag is connected to the bar, has a locking position in which the load hook engages with an engagement surface across a top side of the bar and locks the bar at the securing clip. A pulling member is connected to the load hook. The load hook is pivoted from the locking position into a release position by the pulling member against a counter force.
