An interlocking device for locking components together is provided, comprising
at least one first tubular component (1), at least one second component (2),
arrangeable to interconnect with the first component, the second component (2)
having an opening which, in use, lies within the hollow interior of the first
component (1). There is also at least one third component (3, 4) insertable
into the opening to lie within the hollow interior of the first component (1),
thus locking all three components together. Figure 1 illustrates a first
embodiment of the invention in which the first and second components comprise
intersecting members of a pallet. In another embodiment, the components are
used to construct a fence. The invention enables a very robust structure to be
assembled without the use of tools.
L'invention a trait à un dispositif d'accouplement destiné à bloquer des éléments ensemble. Ledit dispositif comprend : au moins un premier élément tubulaire (1) ; au moins un deuxième élément tubulaire (2), qui peut être arrangé pour s'interconnecter avec le premier élément, le deuxième élément (2) comportant une ouverture qui, lors de l'utilisation, repose dans l'intérieur creux du premier élément (1) ; et au moins un troisième élément (3, 4), qui peut être inséré dans l'ouverture pour reposer dans l'intérieur creux du premier élément (1), ce qui bloque les trois éléments ensemble. Dans un premier mode de réalisation de l'invention, les premier et deuxième éléments comprennent les éléments entrecroisés d'une palette. Dans un autre mode de réalisation, les éléments servent à construire une barrière. L'invention permet d'assembler une structure très solide sans faire appel à des outils.
