Abstract
A joining arrangement having at least one engaging member (3, 49), a screw threaded shaft (2) passing through the engaging member at least one nut (7) threadably engaging the shaft, a gear member (9), a pivot locator (14) on the engaging member such that a shaft (10) with a second gear member (12) may inter engage with the pivot locater while having the said second gear member adapted to interengage with the said first gear member whereby to facilitate a tightening of the joining arrangement.
Claims18
A joiner including at least one engaging member, a screw threaded shaft passing through the engaging member or a channel through the engaging member, at least one nut threadably engaging the shaft, a gear member, a pivot locator on the engaging member such that a shaft with a second gear member may inter-engage with the pivot locator while having the said second gear member adapted to interengage with the said first gear member whereby to facilitate a tightening of the joiner by effecting a relative rotation of the nut with respect to the shaft.
A method of using a joiner to effect a tightening which includes the steps of locating within cavities adjacent each side of an adjoining abutting face, a respective engaging member which has passing there through a shaft which is screw threaded and whereby there is a gear means as a part of or attached to either the nut or a head of the bolt and effecting a rotation of the gear means so as to effect a tightening of the bolt by means of a shaft supporting at its end a pinion gear with a projecting finger locating within a pivot locator positioned adjacent the first said gear means and being within the respective engaging member
A tightening arrangement for a screw threaded shaft with at least one tightening end, at least one engaging member through which the screw threaded shaft passes, the arrangement being characterised in that there is a first gear means as a part of or attached to either the nut or head of the screw threaded shaft such that rotation of the gear means will result in the nut effecting a tightening with respect to the screw threaded shaft, and a pivot locator positioned adjacent the first said gear means and aligned to support a shaft end supporting a second gear whereby upon rotation of the second gear, this will effect a rotation of the first gear means and thus effect said tightening effect.
