ABSTRACT

An adjustable spacer (80) for adjusting the spacing between two bodies
comprising: i) a first rotatable indexing mechanism (82), the first rotatable
indexing mechanism (82) configured to rotate in a first rotational direction
about a rotational axis; ii) a second rotatable indexing mechanism (84), the
second rotatable indexing mechanism (84) configured to rotate in a second
rotational direction about the rotational axis, the second rotational
direction being opposite the first rotational direction; wherein the first and
second rotatable indexing mechanisms (82, 84) are configured such that
rotation of the first rotatable indexing mechanism (82) by a given angular
rotation in the first rotational direction about the rotational axis changes
the length of the adjustable spacer (80) along the rotational axis by a first
length, and rotation of the second rotatable indexing mechanism (84) in the
second direction by the same given angular rotation about the rotational axis
changes the length of the adjustable spacer (80) along the rotational axis by
a second length, the second length being the same or different to the first
length.
