The present invention relates to a quick fitting and rotational system for assembling articulating parts, namely for warning triangles for motor vehicles which comprise: a component (1) with two male elements consisting of cylindrical pins (3) with an oval head; a component (2) with two female elements consisting of openings (4 and 5) which narrow at one end, one of which leads into a circular area (6) and the other into an arched slot (7); a brake consisting of a flap (8) mounted in the aforementioned circular area (6). The fitting and rotation of the component (2) with female elements on top of the component (1) with male elements cause the cylindrical pins (3) to slide, one along the narrowing opening (4), coming to rest in the circular area (6), and the other along the other narrowing opening (5), entering the slot (7) and continuing until it reaches the far end of the slot (7). Once the cylindrical pin (3) has been fitted into the circular area (6), the brake flap (8) prevents it from being released without the safety flap (8) being activated.
