A device for connecting the structural elements, in particular elements of ribs used to support and to consolidate an excavation, reticular structures and similar, comprises at least a first housing (4; 44; 403; 411) having a cavity (14; 414; 144) and capable of being associated with a first structural element (2; 20; 200; 121), at least one connection body (5; 56; 511) having at least one insertion portion (119; 58; 591) for insertion in the said cavity (14; 414; 144) of the said first housing (4; 44; 403; 411) and capable of being associated with a second structural element (3; 30; 131), and locking means (11, 12, 13, 15, 17; 60, 61, 62, 63, 47; 621, 623, 653) for locking the said insertion portion (119; 58; 591) of the said connection body (5; 56; 511) inside the said cavity (14; 414; 144). The housing may be arranged in a cup-shaped element and may be linked in a revolving/hinging manner with the connection body.
A device for connecting structural elements, in particular elements of ribs, reticular structures and similar, comprising at least a first housing having a cavity and capable of being associated with a first structural element, at least one connection body having at least one insertion portion for insertion in the said cavity of the said housing and capable of being associated with a second structural element, and means for locking the said insertion portion of the said connection body inside the said cavity.
A rib for supporting and consolidating an excavation, comprising at least a first rib structural element and at least a second rib structural element, the said first rib structural element and the said second rib structural element being connected by connecting means, wherein the said connecting means comprise at least one engaging connection element associated with the said first rib structural element and cooperating with elastic means, the said engaging connection element being movable between a first unlocking position and a second locking position with respect to the said second rib structural element.
