A device is provided for the articulated connection of two bodies
comprising a first body, a clamping member, at least one tension member,
and a second body. The first body comprises a cavity extending coaxially
along a central axis. The clamping included a longitudinal axis and a
coaxial bore with at least one aperture, the clamping member being
complementary to the cavity and resiliently deformable in a direction
orthogonal to the longitudinal axis. The at least one tension member is
insertable coaxially with respect to the longitudinal axis into the bore.
An axial displacement of the at least one tension member within the
corresponding aperture may cause the clamping member to be expanded to
contact the cavity wall and be releasably locked within the cavity. The
second body is releasably connectable to the first body by means of the at
least one tension member and the clamping member. A driving member is
provided for displacing the at least one tension member axially relative
to the corresponding aperture, wherein the driving member is connected to
both the clamping member and the at least one tension member in positive
axial engagement while rotatable about the longitudinal axis.
