Abstract: Two structural components having a rotational symmetry relative to a central longitudinal axis, are releasably connected to each other by a clamping mechanism which engages two interface rings secured to the respective structural component. The clamping mechanism is formed by tensioning elements (5) held together by at least one, preferably two straps (1, 2). A lock (15) with two hinged tensioning levers holds the strap or straps releasably together. For this purpose each strap end is journalled by a journal bolt to the tensioning lever (18, 19). Locking elements (25, 26, 28, 30) hold the tensioning lever (18, 19) in a locked position in the lock.

Abstract: Two structural components are releasably connected to each other by a clamping mechanism (CM) which engages two interface rings (9, 10) secured to the respective structural component. The clamping mechanism is formed by tensioning elements (5) held together by at least one, preferably two tensioning members such as straps (1, 2). A lock (15) with two hinged tensioning levers (18, 19) hinged at (21) to a mounting (17), holds the tensioning strap or straps releasably together. For this purpose each strap end is journalled by a journal bolt (3, 4) to the respective tensioning lever (18, 19). Locking elements (25, 26, 28, 30) hold the tensioning levers (18, 19) in a locked position. An electromagnetic drive or the like is used to unlock the tension levers for releasing the tensioning strap or straps in a controlled manner without completely opening the ring formed by the clamping mechanism. The position of the journal bolt (3, 4) relative to its tensioning lever (18, 19) is adjustable by an adjustment screw (22).

Abstract: The parts are interconnected by means of split strap arrangement engaging clamping elements which, through wedge action engage flanges of the parts and hold them together.
