ABSTRACT:
The releasable strap connector of the type used on parachute harness, has a female connector and a male connector; one or more prongs of the male connector are insertable in fitting pockets in the female connector; a rocking bar has cut-away portions intersecting said pockets so as to interlock with correspondingly cut-away portions of the respective prongs; a manipulating yoke lever is connected to the bar for rocking it into a releasing position where the cut-away portion of the bar is aligned with the pockets and the bar is withdrawn from the cut-away portions of the prongs thereby releasing the male member. The yoke lever has a manipulating handle including a shaft fixedly secured across the outer ends of the legs of the lever having a bore in one end thereof to contain a spring pressed plunger biased outwardly for engagement with a detent in the adjacent flange of the female body; a sleeve is rotatable on the shaft between the legs; the sleeve has a bayonet slot therethrough; a pin extended through the plunger is axially slidable in the axial portion of the bayonet slot and also in an elongated slot in the hollow portion of the shaft whereby the bayonet slot in the sleeve locks the plunger in locking position and prevents it to be withdrawn from the detent, and upon turning the sleeve the cross pin is allowed to move in the longitudinal or axial portion of the bayonet slot so that as the handle is pulled outwardly to rock the yoke lever the rounded tip of the plunger rides out of the detent; the hand turning the sleeve also simultaneously engages a lock lever and moves the same into releasing position allowing the rocking of the yoke lever and the bar into position to release the male member.
