Abstract: A disclosed electrical conductor includes a ball part having a first electrical component and a socket part having a second electrical component. The ball and socket parts are connected together to allow movement relative to one another. The ball part includes at least one groove spaced around its surface that is electrically connected to the first electrical component by an electrical contact. The socket portion is electrically connected to the second electrical component. Most of the length of the electrical contact is located outside of the ball part so that rotation of the ball-and-socket joint is allowed with the contact riding over the ball part. A free end of the contact has an inwardly extending part that is constrained to move within the groove and to be forced against a conductive strip, to thereby establish an electrical connection between the first electrical component and the second electrical component.

Abstract: A retaining system includes a retaining section, a coupler for releasably coupling to the retaining section, and means for fixing couplers coupled to adjacent retaining sections to each other to thereby maintain adjacent retaining sections in fixed relationship to each other. The retaining system has a number of possible applications such as garden or footpath edging, or earth retaining walls, but a preferred embodiment relates to the use of the retaining system as concrete formwork.
