Claim 0:
1. An end piece configured to be removably secured to a bar, said end piece comprising:
a channel configured to accommodate said bar;
a rotating part configured to rotate about an axis parallel to said bar between a locking position for preventing the bar from leaving said channel, and a release position in which the rotating part allows the bar to be inserted into or removed from the channel, said rotating part comprising a first surface and a second surface;
a locking mechanism configured for blocking-rotation of the rotating part, the locking mechanism comprising:
a first locking element on the second surface of the rotating part, wherein said first locking element is a hole in the second surface, and
a second locking element in the end piece, wherein said second locking element is a lever, one end of said lever being opposite said second surface,

wherein upon rotation of said rotating part, the relative position between the second surface and said second locking element changes until said second locking element cooperates with said first locking element so as to block the rotation of said rotating part in the locking position,
wherein upon rotation of said rotating part, the relative position between the second surface and said lever changes until said lever drops into said hole, thus blocking the rotation of said rotating part in the locking position, and
wherein said locking mechanism is configured to act in a direction parallel to the bar, said second locking element being movable parallel to the bar.
