ABSTRACT:
A locking device for engaging first and second mating connectors together comprises first and second locking members respectively retained in the first and second connectors. The first locking member has a globular engaging portion extending beyond the first connector. The second locking member has a U-shaped latch extending beyond the second connector. The latch defines an arcuate cutout at a free end thereof. The latch provides a pair of beveled edges on periphery of the cutout. The engaging portion of the first locking member slides to engage with the latch of the second locking member through the cutout aided by the beveled edges of the cutout. A rear face of the engaging portion abuts the free end of the latch to establish secure engagement between the first and second locking members.
