Title:
TAPER LOCK ARRANGEMENT
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO1999006172
Kind Code:
A9
Abstract:
A taper lock arrangement comprising a generally rectangular male part and a female part having a generally rectangular opening therein for receiving the male part in an insertion direction. The opening has at least one pair of interior surfaces converging or diverging in the insertion direction. The male part has at least one pair of external surfaces converging or diverging in the insertion direction, and the male part fits into the opening in the insertion direction to effect a taper lock between the exterior converging or diverging surfaces and the interior converging or diverging surfaces. The invention may assume a variety of design configurations using both converging interlocking walls and diverging interlocking walls, may use converging or diverging walls offset from one another on either side of a central insertion axis in order to simultaneously effect a bias of the male part against the female part, or may have symmetrical diverging or converging walls to avoid any bias of the male part against the female part.
