The top of the in FIG. 5 shown sleeve 4 faces the connector 2. To connect and disconnect the quick release two opposite grooves 4.1 are arranged in the sleeve 4 in the longitudinal direction of each extending from the upper edge of the sleeve to about the middle of the sleeve 4 and there pass in each case a transverse groove 4.2, which extends slightly in the direction of the upper edge of the sleeve , The width of the transverse grooves 4.2 is as large as the width of the grooves 4.1 and slightly larger than the diameter of the connector 2 arranged on the pins 2.1. Further, the wall thickness of the sleeve 4 is less than the length of the pins 2.1, so that the connector 2 with the pins 2.1 in the sleeve 4 with the grooves 4.1 longitudinally to the end of the grooves 4.1 inserted and at the end of the grooves 4.1 the course of the transverse grooves 4.2 following to the end of which is rotatable. To prevent rotation, a threaded pin 4.3 is used.

Es ist auch möglich, in der Wandung des Mastauslegers 3 unmittelbar über der Abdeckkappe 5 eine Bohrung mit Innengewinde anzuordnen, in das ein Gewindestift geschraubt ist, wodurch das Verbindungsstück 2 mit dem Mastausleger 3 fixiert ist. In diesem Fall ist das rohrförmig ausgebildete Verbindungsstück 2 mit einem am unterem Rand angeordnetem Außengewinde versehen und die beiden zylinderförmige Stiften 2.1 sind am oberen Rand an der Außenseite gegenüberliegend angeordnet. Das Gewinde dient dem Anschluss der Außenleuchte 1 und die Stifte 2.1 sind Bestandteil eines Schnellverschlusses zum Anschluss des Verbindungsstückes 2 am Mastausleger 3. Die in den Figuren 4 und 5 dargestellte Hülse 4, ist in diesem Fall innerhalb der hier nicht dargestellten Mastauslegerwandung befestigt. Der untere Rand der Hülse 4 ist der Außenleuchte 1 zugewandt. Die in der Hülse 4 angeordneten Nuten 4.1 gehen vom unteren Hülsenrand aus.It is also possible to arrange a bore with internal thread in the wall of the mast arm 3 directly above the cap 5, in which a threaded pin is screwed, whereby the connecting piece 2 is fixed to the mast arm 3.

Das in die innerhalb des Mastauslegers 3 befestigte Hülse 4 bereits eingeführte und verdrehte Verbindungsstück 2 ist in den Figuren 6 und 7 dargestellt. Zur Vereinfachung ist in diesen Figuren die Außenleuchte 1 nicht dargestellt. Die Schnittführung von Figur 6 erfolgte neben den Nuten 4.1 durch die Quernuten 4.2 und die sich darin befindenden Stifte 2.1. Die Figuren 6 und 7 stellen somit den Schnellverschluss in Endstellung dar, der sich nach dem Einschieben und Verdrehen des Verbindungsstückes 2 in die Hülse 4 einstellt, wobei die Stifte 2.1 zunächst in den längs angeordneten Nuten 4.1 geführt und anschließend in den Quernuten 4.2 verdreht und dabei - dem Verlauf der Quernuten 4.2 folgend - leicht abgesenkt worden sind.The in the attached inside the mast boom 3 sleeve 4 already inserted and twisted connector 2 is in the FIGS. 6 and 7 shown. For simplicity, the outdoor lamp 1 is not shown in these figures. The cut of FIG. 6 took place next to the grooves 4.1 by the transverse grooves 4.2 and the pins located therein 2.1.
