A connection coupling or socket arrangement contains two coupling parts each possessing a bore and arranged at an angle with respect to one another. In order to be able to interconnect rods or the like with one another, without the use of further components, the one coupling part serving for receiving one of the rods is continuously lengthwise slotted over the length of its bore. The end regions of this one coupling part bounding at such lengthwise or longitudinal slot each carry a respective portion or section of the other coupling part which is divided into such two portions or sections transversely with respect to its bore. These portions are subjected to the action of a resilient or spring force which strives to mutually shift both of these portions with respect to one another transversely in relation to its bore. The connection coupling is suitable for the attachment or connection of rods or bars, which may be solid profile elements or tubular elements, having small transverse dimensions, and, in particular, such connection coupling is particularly suitable for the attachment of support struts at one of the transverse struts forming a load-carrying surface of a luggage carrier.
