Description
Inspired by the Gardena hose connectors, this system focuses on alignment and immediacy. Each screw segment is "Gendered," featuring a plug and a socket that ensures the diamond grooves line up perfectly every time.
How it Works
- The O-Ring Seal: Just like a hose connector, the male end features a groove for a rubber O-ring. This provides the internal friction needed to keep the segments from vibrating apart during high-speed rotation.
- The Alignment Key: A small "tooth" or flat edge on the connector ensures that you cannot snap the pieces together in the wrong orientation. This guarantees the helix path is continuous.
- The Locking Sleeve: A sliding outer ring (or a simple snap-fit tab) locks the segments so they can handle the tension of a heavy "follower" (the diabolo) moving back and forth.
