ABSTRACT:
An anchor connector with a latch segment retainer body (28) having a lost motion connection to the connector body (36) which has a downwardly-extending skirt (38). Latch segments (30) pivotally connected to the retainer body are free to swing outwardly when the retainer body is retained in its upward position but are locked against the groove (24) in a support mandrel (22) when the retainer body is in its downward position. The latch segments engage the mandrel with a boss (32) which has a tapered upper surface (34) to ensure outward movement for disengagement, and a tapered lower surface (50) which permits diver assist disengagement in the event of a malfunction.
