ABSTRACT:
An improved bayonet connector assembly includes a connector nut having a generally cylindrical tubular configuration with a bore extending axially therethrough. In one embodiment the inner surface of the bore includes at least one camming surface extending both circumferentially and axially therein and disposed to impinge upon the corresponding bayonet pin of the mating bayonet connector. A detent window is formed at the inner end of each camming surface to engage and retain the bayonet pin that is driven slidably along the camming surface into the detent window. The end surfaces of the cylindrical nut are annular and continuous, so that the strength of the structure is maximized. Furthermore, the camming surfaces and the detent slots are arranged so that the entire nut may be formed in a single molding operation. In another embodiment, the camming surfaces and detent recesses are formed on the exterior of the female connector, and the bayonet pins extend radially inwardly in the bore of the bayonet nut.
