Abstract
A connection bracket is provided in order to connect a connection, such as a shackle, hook or ring, to a flange, in particular to a flange of a tower element of a wind turbine, wherein the connection bracket () has two fixing sections (), which are arranged at a distance (D) from each other and each have a support surface () for laying the connection bracket () against the flange and a connection section (), wherein the connection section () is formed from two supporting sections () each firmly connected to one of the fixing sections () and standing thereon, and a center section () carried by these supporting sections () and firmly connected to them, such that the connection section () bridges the distance (D) between the fixing sections () at a distance (Y) from the plane (E) of the support surface (), and wherein, in a top view seen from the side of the connection bracket () remote from the support surface (), the center line (M) of the center section () of the connection section () is arranged outside the envelope (U) of the fixing sections (). The connection bracket can be manufactured cost-effectively and guarantees a high safety of use despite a reduced weight.
