Abstract (en)

[origin: DE19608832A1] The invention concerns a connecting element (1) for securing drinks crates (10), packs or other containers one on top of the other or on a bicycle luggage rack (12) or similar support bar (11). In order to join two objects securely for the purpose of transport using such a connecting element (1) while ensuring that the objects can be easily detached when required, it is proposed that the hook-shaped connecting element (1) with its substantially S-shaped and mutually opposing hook sections (2, 3) should take the form of a flat hook with a flat longitudinal extension at right angles to the hook plane; that the hook sections (2, 3) should grip around the object (10) positively and in a way suited to the shape of the securing region; and that a safety catch which largely closes off the aperture in the hook sections should be provided.
