Abstract: A support for the lower end of a newel post, comprising: a screw having a first screw thread at one end portion, a second screw thread at the other end portion and a third screw thread at an intermediate position along the screw; and a base plate having a centrally located threaded hole and auxiliary holes arranged around the periphery of the base plate; wherein the first screw thread is for engaging within a substrate for the newel post; the third screw thread is adapted to threadedly engage with the centrally located threaded hole to retain the base plate on the screw so that the base plate abuts the surface of the substrate engaged by the first screw thread; the other end portion of said screw is adapted to extend through a longitudinal passage in the lower end of the newel post and to terminate within an intersecting transverse opening spaced upwardly from the lower end of the newel post so that a nut screwed onto the second screw thread can apply a loading to the newel post to clamp the lower end against

Abstract: The present invention describes a joiner including at least one engaging member, a screw threaded shaft passing through the engaging member, at least one nut threadably engaging the shaft, a first gear member adapted to receive the screw threaded shaft, a second gear member positioned to interengage with the first gear member and having a tool engaging means, both the first gear member and second gear member being located substantially within the engaging member whereby a turning of the second gear with a standard tool fitting, facilitates a tightening of the joiner and wherein the first engaging member further includes a securing means to pivotally hold the first gear member.

Abstract: A door catch (10) for a multiple panel covered door (44) wherein there is a wheel (20) rotationally mounted at an outer end an optionally resiliently deflectable support arm (14, 18) for rotational movement of the wheel about an axis parallel to the plane of the door, the arm adapted to be secured to the outer end of a door and where the wheel has an outer circumference provided by a plurality of radially extending portions.

Abstract: A joining arrangement having at least one engaging member (3, 49), a screw threaded shaft (2) passing through the engaging member at least one nut (7) threadably engaging the shaft, a gear member (9), a pivot locator (14) on the engaging member such that a shaft (10) with a second gear member (12) may inter engage with the pivot locater while having the said second gear member adapted to interengage with the said first gear member whereby to facilitate a tightening of the joining arrangement.
