ABSTRACT:
An easily attached and detached locking mechanism is provided to prevent accidental disconnection between mounted and removable connector elements. The mechanism comprises interconnected and tensioned arms with tangs that enclose the connector elements with the interconnection and the tangs providing forces in opposite directions to maintain the connector elements in contact. Inward forces, on the ends of the tensioned arms opposite the tangs, increase the distance between the tangs for attachment of or removal from the connectors to be locked together.
