ABSTRACT:
A multiple wedge quick connect and/or disconnect is disclosed in three basic cylindrical embodiments with variations for hand and machine assembly of the connection. One cylindrical part includes a plurality of radially extending pins. Another cylindrical part includes at least one radially extending bearing surface. The two cylindrical parts are coaxially aligned by slidably engaging the pins in corresponding slots formed in the walls of the second cylindrical part. A plurality of wedges are then moved between the pins and bearing surface(s) to either hold them or force them apart, thereby securing the two cylindrical parts in tight detachable engagement. An optional gasket may be deformed between the two cylindrical parts to provide an enhanced seal when they are connected. The connection is broken by removal of the wedges from between the pins and bearing surface(s).
