Abstract
A disconnectable adapter for the adaptation of a tool to an industrial robot has a first part and a second part connected detachably to the first part. The adapter is designed with at least two locking parts which engage behind the first part or the second part in a spring-loaded manner and are mounted displaceably or pivotably in the second part or first part behind which the locking parts do not engage. To disconnect the first part and the second part of the adapter from each other, all the locking parts are loaded simultaneously relative to the first part and to the second part or relative to one another by means of an external force applied as a compressive force. With the present disclosure, a disconnectable adapter which can be operated both manually and automatically is developed.
