Abstract
A connecting means for connecting mutually spaced components, said connecting means comprising: at least two connecting devices by means of which the connecting means can be attached to one of the at least two components, respectively; and a coupling device which couples the at least two connecting devices to one another at least in order to transmit tensile forces. In order to improve the connection and handling of the components, at least one of the connecting devices is coupled to a coupling section of the coupling device so as to be fixed at least with respect to the axial direction.

-14. (canceled)
A connection apparatus for connecting at least two components spaced apart along an axial direction of the connection apparatus, the connection apparatus comprising:
- at least two connecting devices, via which the connection apparatus can be attached to one of the at least two components, respectively;
- and
- a coupling device which couples the at least two connecting devices to one another at least for transmission of tensile forces;
- at least one of the connecting devices being coupled to a coupling section of the coupling device so as to be fixed at least with respect to the axial direction;
- wherein the at least one connecting device is formed by a threaded device which is screwable to a respective one of the at least two components;
- and
- the coupling device comprises at least three chain links, wherein a first one of the at least three chain links comprises the coupling section, and the at least three chain links are connected directly in series.
