<p>A connector (1) for disengageably connecting together two parts (5, 6) such as panels, posts or other elements of, for example, a box or a furniture item comprises a two part catch (2), a collar (3) and a splined key (19). The inner face (9) of the collar (3) is formed as an angled face within the inner bore of the collar (3). The catch (2) comprises two complementary parts, an engagement portion (10) and a plunger portion (11). The catch (2) is positioned in an elongate hole (13) in the part (6). The splined key (19) engages with teeth (17, 18) on body portions (12, 15) of the engagement portion (10) and the plunger portion (11) and rotation of the key (19) moves the engagement portion (10) and the plunger portion (11) along the elongate hole (13) and into engagement with the collar (3). Rotation of the key (19) in the other direction disengages the catch (2) from the collar (3).</p> |
