Abstract
A vacuum system securing device to releasably secure a sealed connection between a first part and a second part of a vacuum system has a shaft having a longitudinal axis and is provided with a plurality of force applying members. The shaft is to be attached to the first part of the vacuum system to define a gap between the first part and the force applying members to receive the second part by a movement of the second part in a lengthways direction of the shaft. The shaft is movable relative to the first part to cause the force applying members to narrow the gap to apply a force pressing the second part towards the first part.
