ABSTRACT:
A quick acting connector assembly is described for interlocking a portable member, such as a toilet seat, to a stationary member, such as a toilet, for example. The portable member carries a mounting bracket fixed to one margin thereof to present a planar flange or platform carrying headed pins projecting from one face thereof, with each pin located adjacent an enlarged opening receptive of a headed locking post extending from an underlying mounting plate fixed to the stationary member in assembly. A slide bar having a centrally disposed actuator and spaced key hole slots fits over the bracket's platform so that the pins fixed to said platform and the posts projecting from the mounting plate engage the key hole slots in assembly; the actuator depending beneath said slide bar to engage an elongated guide slot in the bracket platform while the outer end thereof is coupled to a pivotally actuated operator for selectively moving the slide bar between locking and unlocking positions beneath the heads of the locking posts. Detents serve to arrest the slide bar in its locking and unlocking positions to respectfully couple and release the removeable and stationary members.
