Abstract
A component connector includes a body having a first end for receiving a portion of a first component and a second end for receiving a portion of a second component, a locking member moveable relative to the connector body between a locked position and an unlocked position, wherein, in the locked position, the locking member engages with the connector and restricts movement of at least one of the first component and the second component portions relative to the connector body, and in the unlocked position the locking member at least partially disengages with the connector body, thereby allowing relative movement between the connector and at least one of the first and second component portions.
Claims19
A component connector comprising:
- a connector body having a first end for receiving a portion of a first component and a second end for receiving a portion of a second component;
- and
- a locking member moveable relative to the connector body between a locked position and an unlocked position,
- wherein, in the locked position, the locking member engages with the connector body and restricts movement of the portion of the first component relative to the connector body, and
- wherein, in the unlocked position, the locking member at least partially disengages with the connector body, thereby allowing relative movement between the connector body and the portion of the first component,
- wherein the connector body defines a first opening at the first end that is open in a first direction,
- wherein the connector body comprises a second opening that is open in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction,
- wherein, in the unlocked position, the second opening allows the portion of the first component to pass therethrough into an internal space of the connector body, and
- wherein, in the locked position, the locking member moves to a position that covers the third opening such that the portion of the first component within the connector body is restricted from moving along the second direction.
