Abstract:
A device for interconnecting structural parts, comprising:a distance holder adapted to be positioned between the structural parts and including first and second supporting bodies adjacently arranged along an axis, and a control element connected to both of the first and second bodies for rotation relative thereto to produce an axial extension of the first and second supporting bodies relative to each other in response to rotation of the control element about the axis;the first and second supporting bodies being secured against relative rotation about the axis;at least one of the first and second supporting bodies forming a screw drive with the control element; anda connecting screw having a shank and a head, the shank extending axially through the distance holder and drivingly connected with the control element for rotating the control element about the axis, the connecting screw being connected with the control element by frictional force, wherein the connecting screw can slip relative to the control element when rotation of the control element is effectively resisted.
