Abstract:
An apparatus to connect an implement to a first apparatus, said apparatus comprisinga first part adapted for attachment to said first apparatus, a second part adapted for attachment to a second apparatus, said first and second parts being articulated one with respect to the other about an articulation axis, and articulation enabling means actuable between modes whereby, in a first mode, the first and second parts can articulate relative to each other under any applied force as a result of a reduced frictional resistance to articulation between the first and the second parts about an articulation axis, and, upon positive actuation of a second mode, the first and second parts cannot articulate relative to each other under the any applied force as a result of an increased frictional resistance to articulation between the first and second parts about the articulation axis.
