ABSTRACT:
A quick disconnect connector. A female member includes an outwardly opening cavity formed by four integrally formed sidwalls. A male member is insertable into the cavity and includes a pair of flexible spring biased arms releasably lockable and extendable into a pair of slots formed in the sidewalls of the female member. Ramps formed on the flexible arms are arranged relative to the slot edges to force the arms inwardly apart from the sidewalls to unlock therefrom when oppositely directed forces are applied to the opposite ends of the male member and female member. Cooperating guide means formed internally on the sidewalls and on a center post cantileveredly mounted to the male member guide the male member relative to the female member. Slots formed in the opposite ends of the male member and female member mountingly receive belts arranged perpendicularly to the longitudinal axis of the male member and female member.
