Abstract: An anchoring device comprising a shaft, at least part of whose length comprises a tapered portion, with at least one helical flange which runs substantially along the length of said tapered section and an engagement means to allow the device to engage with a lever wherein in use rotation of the lever about the axis of the shaft results in rotation of the device such that the tapered portion and the helical flange co-operate to drive the device into the ground.

Abstract: Apparatus or a kit of parts are disclosed for releasably connecting panels together, the apparatus comprising an upper part, a lower part and a connection member. The upper part has an upper surface and two side walls arranged substantially in parallel with one another and each substantially perpendicularly from the upper surface, and wherein the upper surface has a substantially circular aperture formed within it, and a substantially cylindrical wall extends downwards from the circular aperture substantially parallel to the two side walls, and wherein at least one stop is arranged within the cylindrical wall, the stop having an abutment surface for engagement with an abutment surface of a connection member. The lower part comprises a connection member engagement surface having an opening adapted to allow a lower end of the connection member to pass through the opening when the connection member is in a particular rotational orientation and to engage with the lower end of the connection member when the connection member is in another particular rotational orientation. The connection member comprises a substantially cylindrical shaft having a main shaft portion, an upper end and a lower end, and wherein the upper end is of larger diameter than the main shaft portion, and wherein the lower end is of the same diameter as the main shaft and comprises at least one wing portion, the wing portion extending radially from the lower end of the shaft and having an abutment surface for engagement with an abutment surface of a stop of the upper part, and wherein the connection member comprises a helical spring wound around the shaft, the spring being held in place by the upper end of the connection member and the or each wing portion.

Abstract: A constructional panel has a generally rectangular central section and two opposed end sections, each having an isosceles trapezoid part, its short edge conjoined to an edge of the central section and its long edge conjoined to a rectangular part, there being oblique edges extending between the long and short edges. The panel is thus bound by one pair of opposed edges of the central section, the oblique edges of the two end sections, one pair of opposed edges of the rectangular part and a further edge of the rectangular part opposed to that edge conjoined to the trapezoid part. The panel edges are configured for connection to the corresponding edges of like panels to build up an area of panelling. Projecting tabs from some edges are received in corresponding receptors on opposed edges and having lock arrangements, whereby the interengaged panels may be locked together.
