The cross-rod forms one arm of a rigid angle fitting, the other arm of which is formed by the part of the straight rod, extending into said one element (10). The cross-pin (24) is constructed as an eccentric, rendering possible tightening of the elements (10, 11) against one another by means of the straight rod (15).
