Connection to bond together two components, e.g. of furniture or walls or toys, has a plug/socket structure with a male and female section locked together by rotation in one direction and released on turning in the opposite direction

摘要

The connection (2) in a plug/socket structure (9) to bond two components together, e.g. of furniture or walls, is in two parts as a male (11) and a female (10) section to be locked together and released. The lock has at least one spring (7) with a ratchet projection (19). When the male section is inserted into the opening (4) of the female section, and then rotated axially, the spring projection engages a semi-circular opening (8) to lock the two parts together, Rotation in the opposite direction disengages the spring projection so that the two parts can be pulled apart.
