Abstract
A nut for screw connections has two substantially identically sized nut segments of a half-shell shape, wherein the nut segments each have an inner side provided with an inner thread segment defining together an inner thread. The nut segments are connected to each other so as to be moveable toward each other until the nut segments reach a closed position. The nut segments are maintained in the closed position by springs or a locking device. An actuating device is moveably arranged on at least one of the two nut segments for releasing the closed position, wherein the actuating device is adapted to manually actuated.

A nut for screw connections, the nut comprising:
- two substantially identically sized nut segments of a half-shell shape, wherein the nut segments each have an inner side provided with an inner thread segment defining together an inner thread;
- wherein the nut segments are connected to each other so as to be moveable toward each other until the nut segments reach a closed position;
- springs maintaining a closed position of the nut segments;
- an actuating device moveably arranged on at least one of the two nut segments for releasing the closed position, wherein the actuating device is adapted to be manually actuated;
- wherein the nut segments in the closed position are loaded by the springs and wherein the actuating device is a spreading device that works against the springs;
- wherein the first lever is connected by a first rotary bearing to a first one on the two nut segments and the second lever is connected by a second rotary bearing to a second one of the two nut segments, wherein the first and second rotary bearings are arranged on a symmetry center of the first and second nut segments, respectively.
