The invention produces a connection joint (1) for collapsible structures that includes a male component (4) and a female component (5) movably connected into one another. The male (4) and female (5) components have first locking devices (6) that aid the coupling of the male component (4) into female component (5) and second locking devices (7) that can be snap coupled together to lock the components (4, 5) together when the male component (4) is fully fitted into the female component (5). L'invention concerne un raccord (1) destiné à des structures pliables, qui comprend un composant mâle (4) et un composant femelle (5) reliés entre eux de façon libérable. Les composants mâle (4) et femelle (7) comportent deux éléments de verrouillage dont l'un (6) permet le couplage du composant mâle (4) au composant femelle (5) et l'autre (7) assure le verrouillage par encliquetage des composants (4, 5) une fois le composant mâle (4) entièrement introduit dans le composant femelle (5).
