  • Joint assembly
    Patent number: 10167736
    Abstract: A joint assembly comprises an end portion of a first component that is accommodated within an end portion of a second component, with each respective first and second end portion having a corresponding first and second location feature, and an elongate resilient helical connection member. The second location feature comprises a proximal portion and a distal portion, with a clamping ring accommodated within the distal portion. When the joint is assembled, the first and second location features together define an annular cavity into which is accommodated the connection member to interlock the first and second components to one another. The clamping ring is adapted to exert a radially inwardly directed clamping force on the connection member.
