This model is sometimes also called "magic rings" or "impossible rectangle". You could also call it "Borromean Rings": three rings linked in a way that by removing any one ring the other two aren't linked anymore, either.

Get back to me if it's still current in a month
Hm, that's strange. I've always thought that the model is quite stable. There's a bit of tension, because the lock is so tight - at least once it's completed. Having said that, I haven't folded this model in a long time. I'm out of the country for 3 weeks now, so won't be able to give it a try. If it's still up-to-date in a month, do get in touch with me and I'll have a look into it.
