A table top utilising an anchor affixed to the said table top and at least one leg to support the table top above a ground surface. The anchor is adapted to engage with the leg via a pivoting joint, such that the leg can pivot between an active position where leg is presented to engage with the ground to support the table top above the ground, and a stowed position wherein the leg is disposed to extend substantially adjacent (preferably parallel) to the lower surface of said table top. The leg is releasably retained in the stowed position by the interaction of a catch and receiver at a location distal from the pivoting joint.

The present invention provides a connection device or tool () to connect a first tool () to a second tool (), the connection device or tool () comprising at least one shell memberwhich clamps a first end to said first tool () and a second end of said at least one shell memberto engage with said second tool (), whereby relative rotation between said first tool and second tool is prevented, and axial separation of said first tool () and second tool () is prevented or is assisted in being prevented. This results in a safer combination of the first tool () and second tool (), and allows for a one handed operation of the combination.

Connection device and drive assembly for a cutting tool

A collapsible boat hull () with at least one bottom panel () and two side panels (), and a removable transom () with attachment means () to engage the transom with the two sides of the boat hull, such that, during installation of the transom member, the attachment means initially engages with the sides of the boat, and rotation of the transom to an upright position in the boat hull retains the attachment means and the respective sides of the boat hull together. Releasable latches () at the lower edge of the transom engage with retaining members () on the bottom panels. Seating or cross-bracing has () which releasably engage with retainers on the sides of the boat.

A fastener () is adapted to releasably fix a first element () and a second element (). The fastener () includes a channel () having a plurality of spaced lockers (). The lockers () are movable into the channel (). The fastener () also has a locking tongue (), having a plurality of spaced blockers (). The tongue () is movable within the channel () between a locked position in which the blockers () prevent movement of the lockers () into the channel () and an unlocked position in which the lockers () are not prevented from moving into the channel ().

Strip fastener

The invention provides a fastener () which has an actuating means (), a bias means () and a flexible core (). The flexible core () has an means for engaging () which may be integral with but is preferable separate from the flexible core () The actuating means () includes a material adapted to contract when activated, such as shape memory alloy. Upon contraction of this material, the means for engaging () is movable between an engagement position and a disengagement position. The bias means () biases the flexible core () to the engagement position.

The invention relates to a stabilising device () for an assembly which includes two shape memory alloy wires () adapted to operate in conjunction. The stabilising device () includes a rocker plate () for attachment to each of the shape memory alloy wires; the rocker plate () is adapted to pivot when one shape memory alloy wire (or) is subjected to a stress greater than that to which the other shape memory alloy wire (or) is subjected, in order to reduce the stress on the first-mentioned shape memory alloy wire. The invention further relates to a fastener () including a stud () having a locking cavity (), an aperture () adapted to receive the stud (), a locking means (teeth) () adapted to engage the locking cavity (), a shuttle () rotatable by a rotating means including material adapted to contract when activated and a plug () slidable within the shuttle () to close off the aperture () when not occupied by the stud (). The shuttle () is rotatable by the rotating means between a locking position, in which the locking means (teeth) () engages the locking cavity (), and an unlocking position in which the locking means (teeth) () does not engage the locking cavity (). The plug () can help to prevent contamination of the fastener ().

Stud fastener and stabilising device

The invention discloses several types of fastener, fastening systems, fastener assemblies and related areas. In particular, the invention discloses a releasable fastening system () which has a pin () with a locking cavity (). The pin is intended for insertion in an aperture (). A locking means () engages the locking cavity () of the pin () when the pin () is received in the aperture (). The system () also includes unlocking means () which includes material adapted to contract when activated. When a material contracts, engagement means () included in the locking means (), disengage the locking cavity ().

Fasteners and other assemblies

In the first aspect, the invention provides a fastener which includes a fastening element and an actuating means attached to the fastening element. The fastening element has a flexible beam and an engagement means. The actuating means includes a material, such as shape memory alloy, which contracts when activated. When the material is contracted, the beam moves between an engagement position and a disengagement position. In a second aspect, the invention provides a fastener for use in a network of fasteners. The fastener has address means which serve to distinguish the fastener from the other fasteners in the network. The fastener may be the same as the fastener in the first aspect of the invention, or a different fastener. A network or system of such fasteners is also provided. In a third aspect, the invention provides, in a process for producing product, during which process there are a number of steps in which a first element is releasably fixed to a second element, the use of the fastener in the first aspect or the second aspect of the invention to releasably fix the first element and the second element. The invention also provides a computer system programmed to perform the process of the invention.
