ABSTRACT:
A push-on pull-off connector member 30 for coupling to a standard bayonet receptacle 10 has three equi-spaced circumferential slots 36 for receiving the bayonet pins 20 of the receptacle 10. Spring rings 40 in circular recesses 38 opening into the slots 36 from each side retain the pins 20. The recesses 38 are easily formed, for example, by milling. The coupled connector resists a weak uncoupling force but separates under a strong force, and can provide a snatch-disconnect facility.
In alternative embodiments, each slot 36 has a single circular ring (FIG. 6), two spring rings are formed at each end of a single member (FIG. 4), the rings have inwardly-directed tangs for ease of fitting and removal (FIG. 5), or the spring rings are parts of question-mark shaped members (FIG. 7).
