Method for removably connecting two members and connection system for realizing same

A method for creating a releasable joint between a first component having an inner face and an outer face and a second, elastically deformable component having a wall with multiple cavities, an inner face and an outer periphery, wherein said outer periphery has a dimension greater than a dimension of the first component inner face, comprising the steps of:

• applying a force to the second component inner face so that working lines of the force, considered in the circumferential direction, run approximately centeredly through the multiple cavities to make the dimension of said second component outer periphery less than the dimension of said first component inner face;
• inserting said second component into said first component;
• and
• releasing said force;
• whereby a joint is created by the engagement of said second component outer periphery and said first component inner face as said second component expands after the force is released.

A joining system having first and second components to be joined, comprising:

• a first component having an inner contour and an outer face;
• and
• and a second, component that is elastically deformable by radial compressive forces in such a way that its effective outer circumferential contour corresponds to the corresponding effective inner contour of said first component with a predefined clearance, so that said second component can be inserted into said first component thereby fitting them together;
• and in which after said first and second components have been fitted together, a compressive joint is created by the fact that said second component is elastically deformed back by reducing or discontinuing the radial compressive forces, wherein said second component is a hollow body having a wall with multiple cavities extending over at least 200° in the circumferential direction and separated from one another only by narrow web regions.
