Abstract

A joint assembly (24) for joining first (28) and second (26) components about a common axis (25). The first component (28) has a first end portion (46) having a radially outwardly facing surface shaped to fit radially inside a second surface of a hollow second end portion of the second component (26) so as to form an interface (50) between the opposing first and second surfaces. The first and second surfaces each comprise a concavity (56, 58) extending laterally with respect to the axis (25) such that when the first and second surfaces are opposingly arranged the opposing concavities (56, 58) define a cavity (55) at the interface. A retaining member (54) such as a wire is insertable into the cavity (55) at the interface (50) to prevent axial separation of the first (28) and second (26) components. One of the first (46) and second end portions has a free end in the form of a protrusion (40) axially spaced from the concavity (56) and the other of the first and second end portions comprises an axially extending recess (42) arranged to receive the free end (40). A lapped and/or scarfed joint assembly may be provided. A tenon may be provided to prevent lateral movement of the joint once assembled.
