ABSTRACT:
Connection means for connecting two components such as conveyor channel sections or guide sections includes an elongate connector. The connector is insertible into laterally-open recesses formed in coupling elements attached to the two components. The laterally-open recesses define an elongate aperture which is slightly longer than the connector so that the connector is received within the aperture with a predetermined amount of axial play. A retaining device prevents axial movement of the connector within the aperture by filling up the space available for said predetermined amount of axial play. The retaining device comprises a C-shaped resilient member and a wedge-shaped member. The resilient member is made of corrosion-resistant, resiliently-deformable plastics material, and the wedge-shaped member is made of metal. The wedge-shaped member can be driven into the resilient member to expand the resilient member against the walls of said space, thereby fixing the retaining device in position. The wedge-shaped member is then held captive within the resilient member, thereby maintaining the retaining device in the fixed position.
