Apparatus for connecting support bars of a sport equipment

Abstract

An apparatus for connecting support bars of a sport equipment, having a first bar, a second bar and means for connecting both bars. The connecting means contains two screwing nuts and a bolt. A connecting portion is formed on the head of the first bar, and a plurality of guiding pieces is disposed within the connecting portion. The screwing nuts are screwed on both ends of the bolt. Therefore, in connecting two bars, the connecting means is placed within the connecting portion such that the chamfers of the guiding pieces fit in place into the guide slots of the screwing nuts, respectively. Then, the connecting means is mounted on the connecting portion of the first bar. Thereafter, a hand tool is attached to the adjusting head of the bolt for turning the bolt so that the screwing nuts are synchronously extended outwards against the guiding pieces for a firm connection of the bars.
