A locating means (13) adapted to be supported from one element (11) for engagement with another element to retain the two elements in engagement with each other, the locating means comprising a lug (39) to be displaceable between an extended position at which it extends from the locating means and a retracted position at which it is located inward of the extended position, a driving member (29) slidably supported from the one element the lug and driver having at least two opposed faces, the other element having an abutment which is intended in use to be engaged by the lug when the lug is in the extended position and the two elements are in engagement with each other in order to retain the elements in said engagement with each other, the opposed faces being configured such that movement of the driving member relative to the lug causes the displacement of the lug. A supporting arrangement to support a rotary gig which is adapted to support at least one work-piece from a drive head (11) to enable machining of the work-piece in which the supporting arrangement utilises the locating means is also claimed.
A locating means adapted to be supported from one element for engagement with another element to retain the two elements in engagement with each other, the locating means comprising a lug to be displaceable between an extended position at which it extends from the locating means and a retracted position at which it is located inward of the extended position, a driving member slidably supported from the one element the lug and driver having at least two opposed faces, the other element having an abutment which is intended in use to be engaged by the lug when the lug is in the extended position and the two elements are in engagement with each other in order to retain the elements in said engagement with each other, the opposed faces being configured such that movement of the driving member relative to the lug causes the displacement of the lug.
