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. An electromagnetic drive or the like unlocks the tension levers for releasing the tensioning strap or straps, whereby the opening motion of the tensioning levers is retarded or delayed by one or more springs in a controlled manner to avoid or at least optimally reduce the triggering of harmful vibrations and the introduction of undesirable loads in the components being released.
