Abstract
In a connection between round composite fiber rods or pipes positioned at an angle to one another there are provided angular connecting elements of which the angle corresponds to the angle between the rods to be connected, fiber helical windings in the region of the vertices of the angular connecting elements, respective arms of the connecting elements being arranged to be inserted in the rod or pipe ends. The angular connecting elements are fastened positively on a rod and/or rest frictionally in the rod ends. The fiber helical windings wrap around the angular connecting elements in their angled portions and connect them to one another. Fillers and/or adhesives fill the cavities which are formed at the rod or pipe ends.
