Abstract: A connector (100) for a modular garden bed is 100 described. The connector preferably includes a pair of wings members (1011, 1012) disposed at an angle to one another along a central seam (102). The wing members (1011, 1012) are contoured for complementary engagement with wall members (11) of the garden bed. A plurality of apertures (107) may be provided in the connector (100) for alignment with one or more corresponding apertures disposed within the wall members to permit the insertion of one or more fasteners to secure the connector (100) to the wall members (11).

Abstract: A modular garden bed assembly which comprises a plurality of garden bed members, each garden bed member including a wall and a connecting arrangement on each of a pair of opposed, operatively vertical ends of the wall, the garden bed members arranged consecutively with respect to each other, with connecting arrangements of respective consecutive walls connected to each other so that the walls bound a volume in which soil for planting can be retained by the walls.

Abstract: An electronic lock and money control system is provided that is capable of single unit stand-alone operation, as well as expandability to a network of multiple units having one of the units operate as a centralized network controller. The network includes at least one safe provided with a control system arranged to communicate with a data input device, electronic display, connector interface and electronic lock mechanism located on the safe. The control system includes a processor programmed to control operation of the electronic lock mechanism, as well as operate as a central system controller when connected to at least one other remote safe via the connector interface to monitor and accumulate financial and operational information for each remote unit. Thus, the safe can be used in stand-alone operation, or as a central control and reporting unit for a network of interconnected safes.

Abstract: A cutting arrangement (10) includes a pick holder (12) having a bore (14) containing a sleeve (16) within which a shank (18) of a pick (20) is located. The pick (20) and the sleeve (16) each have heads (22; 24). The head (24) of the sleeve (16) has an outer abutting surface (26) and an inner abutting surface (30). The outer abutting surface (26) abuts an abutting surface (28) of the head (22) of the pick (20). The inner abutting surface (30) abuts an abutting surface (32) of the pick holder (12). The abutting surface (28) of the head (22) of the pick (20) has an outwardly curved formation (28.1) which abuts an inwardly curved formation (26.1) on the outer abutting surface (26) of the sleeve (16). The inner abutting surface (30) on the head (24) of the sleeve (16) has an outwardly curved formation (30.1). The abutting surface (32) of the pick holder (12) has an inwardly curved formation (32.1). The inwardly and outwardly curved formations (30.1; 32.1) abut one another.
