Abstract
A cross-brace is disclosed having an elongate rod portion and two claws, wherein a second grip-around portion of the claws can be moved relative to a first grip-around portion of the claws between an open position, in which a rod-form element is accommodated by the claws, or can be removed from the claws, and a closed position, in which the claws can grip around the rod-form element. The first and second grip-around portions are designed to grip around the rod-form element in the closed position in such a manner that a gap (S) remains between free ends of the first and second grip-around portions. Furthermore, the claws comprise an arresting mechanism, which is designed to keep the first and second grip-around portions in the closed position. A furniture-assembly kit having such a cross-brace is also disclosed.
