1. A pivotable connection device (100) for protruding objects (106), the device comprising:
a first bracket (101) and a second bracket (102),
a locking member (103), which encloses an outer periphery of the second bracket (102) and is displaceable in a first direction along said outer periphery of the second bracket (102),
a spring (105), and
an abutment member (104) attached to and projecting from said outer periphery of the second bracket (102), and forming a first abutment surface (104a) against which the spring (105) abuts,
wherein:
the first bracket (101) and the second bracket (102) are pivotable connected to each other,
the spring (105) is located between the locking member (103) and the abutment member (104),
in a first mode of operation (M1), the locking member (103) is displaced towards the abutment member (104) such that the spring (105) is compressed, and the first bracket (101) and the second bracket (102) are pivotable in relation to each other, and
in a second mode of operation (M2), the locking member (103) is displaced towards the first bracket (101) by the action of the spring (105), such that the locking member (103) overlaps both the first bracket (101) and the second bracket (102) and prevents pivoting of the first bracket (101) in relation to the second bracket (102).
