Connector arrangement for a guide rail arrangement

A connector arrangement for connecting two guide rails of a guide rail assembly for guiding a hand-held power tool, wherein the guide rails extend along longitudinal axes and can be releasably connected with each other by the connector arrangement on mutually opposite end faces, wherein the guide rails have at mutually opposite sides a contact face for the guide rail to rest on a workpiece and a guide face for guiding the hand-held power tool, wherein the guide rails have a longitudinal guide face extending parallel to their respective longitudinal axis for guiding the hand-held power tool parallel to the respective longitudinal axis, wherein the longitudinal guide face is at an angle to the guide face, wherein the connector arrangement comprises:

• at least one connector element which has plug-in sections provided for inserting into plug-in receptacles on the opposite end faces of the guide rails on which there are arranged clamping devices for clamping in the relevant plug-in receptable, and wherein the clamping devices of the connector element are designed for sequential clamping with at first a parallel clamping force substantially parallel to the guide face, so that the longitudinal guide faces of the guide rails are in alignment with one another, and subsequently with a vertical clamping force component vertical to the guide face, and
• wherein the at least one connector element comprises a first connector element that has a plug-in section on each of the mutually opposite longitudinal end regions and a second connector element that has a plug-in section on each of the mutually opposite longitudinal end regions, on which there are arranged on the plug-in sections of the connector elements either exclusively a parallel clamping device or exclusively a vertical clamping device.
