The connecting piece is mounted on one element and comprises first holes disposed at the apex of a polygon; the other element comprises second holes separated from one another by distances equal to the length of the sides of the polygon; finally, when the jib is assembled, the connecting piece is fast with the first element via its axis of rotation and a removable pin introduced into a corresponding hole and in a special hole of said first element and fast with the second element via two removable pins introduced into corresponding holes. One application of this invention is the realization of a hydraulic shovel whose overall size is reduced for suitable road-transport.
