Connector

An assembly comprising a member, having a recess, connected by a connector to a component having an outwardly presented surface part, the connector comprising at least one pair of elements pivotally joined together by a pivotal joint means, each element having a female part and a male part which co-operate, respectively, to provide the connector with a female portion in which said surface part of the component is received and a male portion which is engaged in the recess of the member, wherein the female parts are of a configuration so as to be an interference fit with the component, when the male parts of the elements are disposed so that the longitudinal axes thereof are parallel and the adjacent edges of the male parts are spaced apart, and the male parts are shaped so as to engage the recess at positions to restrain relative transverse movement in all radial planes.

An assembly comprising a member, having a recess, connected by a connector to a component having an outwardly presented surface part, the connector comprising at least one pair of elements pivotally joined together by a pivotal joint means, each element having a female part and a male part which co-operate, respectively, to provide the connector with a female portion in which said surface part of the component is received and a male portion which is engaged in the recess of the member, wherein the assembly comprises at least one further member the or each of which has a recess, the connector comprising a plurality of pairs of elements, the number of pairs being equal to the number of members, and the elements of each pair being pivotally joined together by pivotal joint means, each element having a female part and a male part which co-operate, respectively, to provide the connector with a female portion in which said surface part of the component is received and a plurality of male portions which are engaged in the recesses of the members.
