ABSTRACT:
A connector coupling that comprises a connector body, a first collar rotatably coupled to the connector body that has a plurality of teeth extending from an inner surface thereof, a second collar that receives the first collar and is movable axially with respect to the first collar. A ratchet ring is supported by the connector body and has a plurality of teeth corresponding to the plurality of teeth of the first collar. The ratchet ring is axially moveable with respect to the connector body between an engaged position and a disengaged position. A biasing member is supported by the connector body adjacent the ratchet ring. The biasing member biases the ratchet ring in the engaged position. The second set of teeth of the ratchet ring engage the first set of teeth of the first collar when the ratchet ring is in the engaged position, and the second set of teeth of the ratchet ring are spaced from the first set of teeth of the first collar and the ratchet ring engages the second collar when the ratchet ring is in the disengaged position.
