Patent attributes
A connecting device for releasably connecting two assemblies, having a closure module which is assigned to a first of the assemblies, and has a housing assembly, an adjustment element disposed so as to be adjustable on the housing assembly, and a vacuum element; and an attachment assembly which is assigned to a second of the assemblies. The vacuum element is connectable to the attachment assembly along an attachment direction and in a connected position interacts with the attachment assembly in such a manner that the vacuum element and the attachment assembly, when the closure module and the attachment assembly are stressed relative to one another, are held together by virtue of a vacuum effect between the vacuum element and the attachment assembly. The adjustment element for releasing the vacuum element from the attachment assembly is able to be tilted about different spatial directions in relation to the housing assembly.
