Abstract:
A connector (1) for releasably engaging a slot (10) in a support member (11). The connector (1) includes a body (2) in having a blind bore (20), within which is received a retaining element (3), a threaded insert (4) and a bolt (5) with a shaft (50). The threaded insert (4) provides a threaded hole (40) that receives the shaft (50). The bolt (5) has a head (51) at a first end of the shaft (50) and the retaining element (3) is secured to a second end thereof to inhibit removal of the shaft (50) from the body (2). The shaft (5) has a central threaded portion (55) between the head (51) and the retaining element (3) to engage the threaded hole (40) such that rotation of the body (2) relative to the bolt (5) draws the head (51) toward the body (2) to captivate and clamp an overhang (13) of the slot (10) in the support member (11) between the head (51) and the body (2).
