First Claim
1. A connecting arrangement comprising:
- two parts,two connected sockets for connecting the two parts,wherein the parts and sockets have rotationally symmetrical engagement regions, not exceeding 180°
, about engagement axes, which engagement regions are complementary between one part and one respective socket,wherein one socket is rotated into one respective part, and complementary ones of the engagement regions hold the part on its respective socket so as to be pivotable about respective aligned ones of the engagement axes and so as to withstand tensions in a direction of zenith axes of the parts, andwherein, after the parts and socket pairs are rotated into engagement and positioned with respect to each other, the sockets are connected to each other with a connection which is rotationally and tensionally stiff with respect to the direction of the zenith axes.

Abstract
A connecting arrangement for connecting two parts (1, 5) by way of two connected sockets (2, 4), wherein parts and sockets have rotationally symmetrical engagement regions, not exceeding 180°, about engagement axes (11, 15 or 12, 14), which engagement regions are complementary between one part and one socket each, wherein one socket is rotated into one part each, and the complementary engagement regions hold the part on its socket so as to be pivotable about the respective aligned engagement axes and so as to withstand tensions in the direction of a zenith axis of the parts (10 or 16), and in that, after the parts and socket pairs are rotated into engagement and positioned with respect to each other, the sockets (2, 4) are connected to each other, the connection being rotationally and tensionally stiff with respect to the direction of the zenith axes.

10. A connecting arrangement comprising:
-
a first part to and a second part, a socket for interconnecting the first part to the second part, wherein the parts and the socket have rotationally symmetrical engagement regions, not exceeding 180°
, about engagement axes, which engagement regions are complementary between the parts and sides of the sockets facing the parts,wherein the socket is internally in engagement with the second part and externally in engagement with the first part, and wherein the complementary engagement regions hold the parts on the socket so as to be pivotable about respective aligned engagement axes and so as to be tensionally and rotationally stiff in a direction of a zenith axis.
