<p>A mechanical joint for joining two components, the joint having a male part on one component and a corresponding female part on the other component. The male and female parts have respective castellations which intercalate on insertion of the male part into the female part along a direction of insertion. Respective abutment surfaces are formed on the projections of the castellations. The castellations are configured such that, after the insertion of the male part into the female part, the male and female parts can be rotated relative to each other around the direction of insertion to bring: (i) the abutment surfaces into facing alignment and thereby prevent the parts from being pulled apart, and (ii) the indentations of the castellations into facing alignment. The joint has one or more locking members which are insertable into the facing indentations to prevent further relative rotation of the male and female parts.</p> |
