A member movable toward and away from the forward end of the first member is adapted to seat in the slot when the first member is disposed therein, for holding the first member in the slot and the shoulder in engagement with the inner surface of the part defining the slot. The second member includes a lug for positively disengaging the male and female members as the second member is retracted against a spring which urges it toward the forward end of the first member. An operating element, preferably consisting of a lock, push button, handle, wire or stem, is provided for retracting the second member.
