Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0694482A2] The outer surface of the base is divided into squares of the same size. Each of these contains four pairs of complementary locking elements (4), which are located symmetrically around an imaginary axis in the centre of the square. The locking elements in each pair are mainly mirror-symmetrical to one of the symmetrical axes (s) of the square. Each pair consists of a mainly prismatic or cylindrical projection (4'), or a corresponding recess (4). <IMAGE>
