ABSTRACT:
A connector is made with a male body and a female body that can be partially fitted into each other. The female body, within itself, possesses a ring pushed back towards the exterior by a spring. The ring is held inside the female body by a window into which it gets embedded. During the insertion of the male body, a stop of this body pushes the ring back towards the back of the female body. The ring then releases the window which gets embedded in a groove of the male body. The coupling and the fixed joining of the two parts of the connector are then automatic. To uncouple them, it is enough to press on the lever which carries along the window. The spring which pushes back the ring also contributes to the effortless ejection of the male body. It is shown that in no case should force be exerted except in a single direction: a longitudinal direction on the male connector to couple it and a transversal direction on a lever of the window to uncouple the two elements.
