ABSTRACT:
A connector for releasably connecting and locking a first member to a second member is provided. The connector includes a first member having a connecting element extending from the first member; a second member having a locking element extending from the second member; and an intermediate member having two ends and a passage extending through the intermediate member from one end to the other end. One end of the intermediate member is rotatably attached to the second member so that the locking element of the second member extends into the passage. The other end of the intermediate member is releasably attached to the first member so that the connecting element of the first member extends into the passage. The first member can be locked to the intermediate member by rotating the locking element relative to the connecting element. The connector may be used to releasably connect and lock a toothbrush head to a toothbrush handle.
