Abstract:
1. Connecting device for connecting at least one fibre layer arranged on at least one surface portion of a reinforcement element to the reinforcement element and/or for connecting at least one replacement portion made of the same material and same layer structure of the reinforcement element on a surface reinforcement portion of a fibre composite structure to said fibre composite structure, comprising: at least one pressure mat, which is adapted to the contour of the reinforcement element and which has at least one pressure chamber for a pressure medium to which pressure can be applied and is arranged over the at least one fibre layer and/or the at least one replacement portion of the reinforcement element; a fixing frame adapted to the contour of the reinforcement element for supporting and fixing the pressure mat; and a counter bearing for mounting the fibre composite structure, wherein the at least one fixing frame has a first fixing unit for fixing horizontal regions of the pressure mat and a second fixing unit for fixing the reinforcement element, the second fixing unit being provided with at least one side fixing element for the lateral fixing of the reinforcement element, wherein the second fixing unit and the at least one side fixing element are connected by at least one spring that exerts a pressure force on the at least one side fixing element in such a way that the at least one side fixing element acts on the pressure mat and fixes it.
