Abstract

A connection arrangement for tubular members may include a latch arrangement having a latch hook attached to a first tubular member and a striker arrangement attached to a second tubular member. The striker arrangement may include a transverse member extending transverse to the length of the second tubular member. The transverse member may be positioned proximate to the latch hook when an end of the first tubular member is positioned adjacent to an end of the second tubular member such that rotation of the latch hook engages the transverse member and effects a clamping force between the first tubular member and the second tubular member in a direction transverse to the rotational axis of the latch hook.
