Abstract

Connector for two components, in particular wood components, comprising a plate which is connectable to the first of the two components with a top side and a bottom side, an opening which extends through the plate from the top side to the bottom side and at least two spring tongues distributed around the periphery of the opening, which each project radially into the opening and project out of the plate plane at an acute angle on the top side of the plate, wherein a clear width remains between their free ends, and a threaded bolt connectable to the second of the two components, the diameter of which exceeds the clear width that remains between the free ends of the spring tongues, wherein the free end of each spring tongue has a double-thread or multi-thread threaded portion corresponding to the thread of the threaded bolt.

A connector for two components, comprising

a plate connectable to the first of the two components, having a top side and a bottom side, an opening passing through the plate from the top side to the bottom side and at least two spring tongues distributed around a periphery of the opening, wherein each spring tongue projects radially into the opening and projects at an acute angle out of a plate plane on the top side of the plate, wherein a clear width remains between free ends of the spring tongues, and
a threaded bolt connectable to the second of the two components, whose diameter exceeds the clear width remaining between the free ends of the spring tongues,
wherein the free end of each spring tongue has a double-thread or multi-thread threaded portion corresponding to the thread of the threaded bolt, and
wherein the free end of each spring tongue is provided with an end cap, on which the threaded portion is formed.
