A device includes a first part and a second part. The first part comprises a first fastening tool (FT) and a first receptor (R). The second part comprises a second receptor (R) for engaging with the first fastening tool (FT), and a movable latch (L) for engaging with the first receptor (R). A single act of engaging the first fastening tool (FT) with the second receptor (R) to establish a first connection between the first and second parts, also makes the movable latch (L) engage with the first receptor (R) to establish a second connection between the first and second parts. The second connection is spaced apart from the first connection. Both the first and second connections result from operating only the first fastening tool (FT).

Device having two parts

The present invention relates to an exhaust grille (). The exhaust grille comprises an array comprising an array of spaced vanes () which define a plurality of separate non-linear air flow passages () through the grille. The grill is configured so as to deflect sound waves incident upon the grille to prevent them from passing through the passages. Various configurations of exhaust grille are disclosed, and the exhaust grille configuration reduces the noise levels permitted to pass through the grille, for example when placed over an exhaust (), such as over the exhaust outlet of a vacuum cleaner.
