Abstract
A linear cold connection with connecting places contains a first and a second structural component to join first and second construction elements of a frame for road or rail bound vehicles. First construction elements are attached to the first structural component and second construction elements are attached to the second structural component. The first and second structural components are joined together via a pair of first and second joint faces. The joint faces form a length of arc of a circular cylinder with a common circular-cylinder axis. The first structural element is joined to the second structural element via a bolt-type connection penetrating openings in the first and second joint faces. The diameters of the openings transverse to the circular-cylinder axis are larger than the diameters of the bolts where they penetrate the openings with the result that, when the bolt-type connection is loose, both structural components can be displaced with respect to each other by relative movement of the first and second joint faces transverse to the circular-cylinder axis and with that accommodate tolerances.
