(54)	Joining device for the creation of load-bearing systems for workstations

(57) A joining device for the creation of load-bearing systems for workstations comprises, in combination: a body (21) from which there extends an attachment (22) on which a tubular section (23) is designed to be fitted, and fixing means capable of joining said attachment (22) and tubular section (23)stably together. According to the invention said fixing means consist of at least one beam (25) acting between said attachment (22) and tubular section (23), said beam (25) being housed within a seat (24) of said body (21) and being movable between one first position in which the beam (25) is basically contained within the seat (24) and one second position in which the beam (25) is loaded, by adjustment means, to bias the attachment (22) and the tubular section (23) so that they engage with one another.
