I put the above phrase into google and found this
Folding Camper Accessories
This gave me the correct name as "spring button" and googling "spring buttons for tubing" led to heaps more.
The other name they go by is "Snap buttons"
Not many will go fit > 25 mm tubing but I found a couple that did.
Not rocket science really.

No worries. I had day surgery yesterday and even though I am supposed to be taking it easy I found it hard to sleep so I was up and down like a yoyo the whole night. It was about the most useful thing I could do.
