ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to a peripheral connector for a standard coupler, which permits the coupler to be remotely connectable and disconnectable. A male unit and a female unit of the invention enclose a male half and a female half of the coupler, respectively, and cover them with protective boots. A female unit projects an assembly, thereby opening the boot covering the female coupler half. The projected assembly pushes against portions of the male unit, opening the boot covering the male unit, and connecting the coupler. Disconnection is accomplished by moving the projected assembly in the opposite direction.
