ABSTRACT:
A connecting element for joining a structural part with an adjacent structural part has several sleeves (71, 72) provided with respectively one cutout (77) and one extension (74) wherein in each case the extension (74) of one sleeve (71, 72) engages into the cutout (77) of the other sleeve (71, 72). The sleeves (71, 72) are in contact with fitting clearance with an inner wall of a pipe (14) to be attached to a connector (13). A clamping screw (7) is threaded into a thread (9) of the connector (13) and thereby clamps the sleeves (71, 72) mutually in place, the extensions (74, 87) entering more deeply into the cutouts (77, 92) and thereby expanding the circumference of the sleeves (71, 72) until a fixed clamping of the sleeves (71, 72) against the inner wall is achieved. The sleeves (71, 72) are held in flush mutual contact by a serration. The unwound of the sleeves (71, 72) are punched out from steel strip and subsequently formed into cylindrical sleeves (71, 72). The connecting element (70) can be utilized in particular for producing shelves, sales booths, racks, and similar pipe constructions, as well as in the form of so-called expanding dowels wherein the undetachable interconnection of the sleeves (71, 72) with each other and with the clamping screw (7) permits a rapid and simply to be accomplished assembly.
