Trophy and adapter part therefor

Abstract

A trophy-includes a first trophy part, a second trophy part, and a coupling that enables the first trophy part and the second trophy part to be coupled to each other. The coupling comprises a rapid-action coupling which lacks a screw thread. The coupling further comprises a screw thread connection that enables the first trophy part and the second trophy part to be coupled to each other. An adapter part is also included for coupling the first trophy part and the second trophy part to each other.

         35 . The trophy according to  claim 31 , wherein at least one of the rapid-action coupling and the further rapid-action coupling comprises two co-acting coupling parts, wherein a first coupling part corresponds to the first trophy part and wherein a second coupling part corresponds to the second trophy part; and wherein the two co-acting coupling parts are brought into a coupling position by a relative rotation and a stop is provided which limits the relative rotation of the two co-acting coupling parts in the coupling position. 
     
     
         36 . The trophy according to  claim 31 , wherein at least one of the rapid-action coupling and the further rapid-action coupling comprises a bayonet closure. 
     
     
         37 . The trophy according to  claim 36 , wherein the first coupling part comprises a recess and wherein the second coupling part comprises at least one protruding part which engages with the recess of the first coupling part. 
     
     
         38 . The trophy according to  claim 37 , wherein a contact surface of the recess of the first coupling part with the at least one protruding part of the second coupling part is provided with a protrusion, wherein the orientation of the two co-acting coupling parts in the coupling position is preserved. 
     
     
         39 . The trophy according to  claim 31 , wherein at least one of the rapid-action coupling and the further rapid-action coupling is an injection-moulded part. 
     
     
         40 . The trophy according to  claim 35 , wherein at least one of the rapid-action coupling and the further rapid-action coupling comprises an adapter part which is independent of the first trophy part and the second trophy part, and wherein the adapter part engages with the screw thread of at least one of the first trophy part the second trophy part;
 wherein the adapter part comprises a recess which is configured to enable the adapter part to be arranged laterally over the screw thread.   
     
     
         41 . The trophy according to  claim 28 , wherein a coupling part of the rapid-action coupling is fixable to the first or the second trophy part using an arresting element; and
 wherein the first or second trophy part comprises a recess in which or through which the coupling part of the rapid-action coupling can be fixed to the first or the second trophy part.   
     
     
         42 . The trophy according to  claim 28 , wherein at least one of the first trophy part and the second trophy part is manufactured from at least one of:
