Abstract

A locking or locating mechanism comprising first and second complementary, semi-circular metallic members, each of said members having two mating surfaces interengageable with two surfaces of the other member and cooperating for radial and axial alignment to form on engagement an open-ended cylindrical body having opposed cylindric surfaces and opposed marginal surfaces. For each half-member, one mating surface is the mirror image of the other. The first and second members are interengaged at the mating surfaces, and a bolt member interconnects the two members.
