Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0761118A2] The lock consists of a holder sleeve (5) and an insertion sleeve (5'), with the same longitudinal axis. Each sleeve has a jacket (3) with integral head (4). Each sleeve can hold a bead (6) and the internal diameter of the sleeves is larger than the outer bead diameter. The sleeves have inner and outer jacket surfaces with releasably interconnecting profiles. A bore (7) passes through the sleeve head for a thread (8). A slot extends through the sleeve jacket into the bore for insertion of the thread. The sleeves can be disconnected using a set opening force.
