ABSTRACT:
A quick connect/disconnect coupler has telescoping male and female members which engage along an axial dimension in response to an engaging force. The members are secured in their engaged position by a spring which mechanically couples to the respective members and limits their relative axial displacement. Upon release of the spring, the members readily disconnect by separating in response to a disengaging force. A method for use is also disclosed.
