Claim:
A set of connecting means ( 1 ), ( 2 ) for detachably connecting cords of a Jacquard machine, comprising a first ( 1 ) and a second connecting means ( 2 ), which are provided to be coupled, in a detachable manner, to a first and a second cord respectively, the first connecting means ( 1 ) comprising an elastically deformable coupling element ( 3 ), the second connecting means ( 2 ) comprising a passage ( 5 ), through which the coupling element ( 3 ), compressed in a radial direction, may be shifted to a receiving part ( 4 ), and the coupling element ( 3 ) in the receiving part ( 4 ) having the possibility to adopt a larger radial dimension than in the said compressed situation, wherein the receiving part ( 4 ) is designed in such a manner that the coupling element ( 3 ) may be rotated around its longitudinal axis (A) in order to be brought from a coupling position into a disengaging position and in that the coupling element ( 3 ) is retained in the receiving part ( 4 ) in the coupling position in axial direction and is not retained in this receiving part ( 4 ) in the disengaging position.
