• the coupling arrangement is designed in such a way that it can be connected to the wooden construction element in each case along a fastening member axis by means of screw-shaped, pin-shaped or nail-shaped fastening members,
• the coupling arrangement has fastening member bores which determine the position and direction of the fastening member axes, wherein these fastening member bores are designed in such a way that, in the installed state,
• the fastening member axis encloses together with a normal vector n extending from the underside of the coupling arrangement one angle of inclination θ each, which is 0° to 80° and
• a direction vector s′ of the projection of the fastening member axis on a coupling plane defined by the underside of the coupling arrangement encloses together with a radial vector r lying in the coupling plane a horizontal angle φ,
• wherein the radial vector r runs from a center O of the mounting node that is disposed in the coupling plane to a point of intersection P, in which the fastening member axis intersects the coupling plane, and
• wherein the horizontal angle φ is 0° to ±180° and wherein the connecting device comprises at least one fastening member block which, in the installed state, is arranged on an upper side of the coupling arrangement, and has one or more fastening member bores which determine the position and direction of the fastening member axes, wherein
• the coupling finger is pivotally connected to the mounting node, said at least one coupling finger being pivotable between and including a space-saving rest position and a work position.
