Abstract

See full text

A connecting apparatus includes a first connecting part, which has a first basic body and at least one engagement protrusion arranged rigidly on the first basic body, and a second connecting part, which is attachable to the first connecting part in a closing direction and which has a second basic body with an engagement portion arranged rigidly on the second basic body. The first connecting part has a first magnetic device and the second connecting part has a second magnetic device. The first magnetic device and the second magnetic device interact in a magnetically attracting manner along the closing direction to assist the attachment of the first connecting part and the second connecting part to each other. The first connecting part has a blocking portion which is designed, in the connected position, to interact with the second connecting part in order to block the engagement of the engagement portion with the at least one engagement protrusion counter to an engagement direction. In the connected position, the second connecting part is rotatable about the closing direction with respect to the first connecting part. In the event of rotation, the engagement of the engagement portion with the at least one engagement protrusion and the blocking of the engagement by the blocking portion remains.
