ABSTRACT:
Misalignment accommodating connector assembly for removably connecting first and second objects which may comprise: a first connector subassembly (10) having an arm member (11) extending therefrom transversely through which is provided a tubular member (12); a second connector subassembly (20) having a pair of spaced apart arm members (21,22) each of which is provided with a transversely disposed coaxially aligned semi-cylindrical recess (24,25) for receiving opposite ends of the first connector tubular member (12) upon lateral insertion of the first connector arm member (11) into the space (23) between the second connector pair of arm members (21,22). An axially extendable and contractible fastener subassembly (50) carried by the first connector tubular member (12) is extendable to allow insertion or removal of the first connector arm member (11) into or from the space (23) between the second connector pair of arm members (21,22) and contractible when the opposite ends of the tubular member (12) are substantially received by the semi-cylindrical recesses (24,25) of the pair of spaced apart arm members (21,22) to lock the first and second connector subassemblies (10,20) together.
