ABSTRACT:
The present invention discloses a unique self-aligning, quick-release coupling system capable of releasably joining any two or more of a great variety of cooperative male/female mating items to be temporarily or permanently joined, at the option of the user. Spring-biased positive ejecting forces within the female sub-assembly otherwise tending to separate these items are used to reliably capture the male component until positive separation is desired. Relatively small adjustable threshold triggering forces are required to initiate separation.
In preferred embodiments, the mating members include round or polygonal cross-sections, tailored to the user's needs to facilitate keyed alignment; integrally moulded spring members, choices of dielectric materials for safe use in corrosive environments; and remote control of disengagement.
