ABSTRACT:
A coupling comprising a male and a female member. The female member includes a spring-biased receiving member biased toward a slotted and apertured end plate. The male member (22) includes an inverse V-shaped cam surface which, upon insertion into the slot, engages opposed sides of the receiving member. The inward motion of the male member causes the receiving member to rotate against the action of a spring. Further inward motion of the male member, past the slot, permits the receiving member to spring back to its original orientation carrying with it the male member to a latched position. In the latched position, the male member resides at approximately 90 degrees with respect to the slot.
