ABSTRACT:
A connecting device includes an inner component (100) and an outer component (200). The inner component is dimensioned to be at least partially received in the outer component, with a pair of surfaces (102A,102B) of the inner component facing a pair of corresponding surfaces (202A,202B) of the outer component. At least some of the surfaces include interengageable formations (106, 108, 206, 208). The device further includes an arrangement (104) for allowing relative movement between at least one of the surfaces of the inner component and the corresponding surface of the outer component to allow for engagement and/or disengagement of the formations.
