ABSTRACT:
Means for coupling together two assemblies wherein the first assembly has an end wall formed by a first apertured plate, and the second assembly includes an end wall to which is secured a rotatable end plate. The rotatable end plate carries clamping means which can engage and clamp to apertures in the first apertured plate of the first assembly, whereby the two assemblies are coupled together. In using the apparatus, the two assemblies are positioned adjacent to each other with the rotatable plate and first apertured plate in alignment and the clamping means on the rotatable plate engaging apertures in the first apertured plate. Rotation of the rotatable plate then locks the assemblies together.
