Patent CA-2751738-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BLACK Donald
IPC: F16B1/00
Filed: 2009-02-03
Abstract: The present invention relates to an attachment arrangement that comprises a body, an attachment component and a fastener. One of the body (20) and the attachment component defines a protrusion (22) and the other of the body (20) and the attachment component defines a recess configured to receive the protrusion (22). The fastener is operative to resist separation of the body (20) and the attachment component when the protrusion (22) is received in the recess.
