ABSTRACT:
A connector which can releasably couple two confronting or divergent flanges of a profiled structural member with a hollow second member has a housing which is insertable into the second member and contains two retaining arms with hook-shaped jaws projecting from the open front end of the housing. The arms are movable toward or away from each other into and from positions of overlap with the flanges before they are retracted to engage the jaws with the respective flanges. The jaws are movable to positions of overlap with the flanges by one or more displacing members and to retracted positions by one or more motion transmitting members. The displacing members and the motion transmitting members receive motion from one or more eccentrics or disc cams of an actuator which is rotatably mounted in the second member on a shaft which can be disengaged from the second member to allow for extraction of the entire connector from the second member. The shaft is movable axially relative to the actuator and has a polygonal coupling portion which transmits torque to the actuator, and one or more cylindrical portions which are rotatably journalled in a housing of the connector and/or in the second member.
