Patent ID: 8424879

Claim:
A connection connecting two tool parts, the connection comprising: a first tool part having a receptacle receiving a second tool part; a clamping device clamping the tool parts together in a joined state; and a retaining device for holding the first and second tool parts together in the joined state, the retaining device having an actuating element and at least one locking element operative in a locked position to engage the other of the first and second tool parts when the first and second tool parts are joined and thereby hold the first and second tool parts together, the locking element displaceably supported in one of the first and second tool parts, the actuating element slidably supported in one of the first and second tool parts, the actuating element cooperating with the locking element such that the actuating element exerts forces on the locking element, the actuating element being linearly slidable into a first functional position in which the actuating element pushes the locking element into the locked position, the locking element being acted on by a pretensioning force in the locked position which pushes the locking element into the locked position, the actuating element operative to urge the locking element into the unlocked position in response to being pressed by an operator.
