Abstract: A clamping or connecting device for detachably connecting two plates disposed with respect to each other at an angle which may be selected within a large range of angles. The clamping device comprises two clamping jaws connected to each other by bolt means and forming bearing seats on opposite sides of the bolt means, the bearing seats having cylindrical inner surfaces for receiving cylindrical clamping bodies which are rotatable in their bearing seats about a respective axis approximately perpendicular to the bolt means as long as the clamping device is in an unmounted state, the clamping bodies consisting of two separate clamping elements the cross sectional area of which is in the form of a segment of a circular surface so that each clamping element has an arcuate and a plane side surface portion. The clamping elements consist of a hard material, such as metal or a hard plastic material.
