ABSTRACT:
The swivel connector permits two links, such as cables, chains, etc. to be quickly connected and disconnected without use of tools, and can pass over pulleys and through fairleads etc. The connector has a plug connector portion which has head and neck portions which are received in a complementary recess of a socket connector portion. The socket connector portion comprises second and third body members each having a longitudinally aligned main face with a recess generally complementary to one half of the neck and head portions. The connector portions have bearing surfaces which generate inwards forces on the second and third body members which tend to hold the second and third body members together so as to embrace the first body member. A resilient structure applies an outwardly directed axial force between the connector portions, which tends to force the main faces and bearing surfaces into engagement so as to initiate and enhance gripping of the two portions together. The connector portions are simple to manufacture and maintain, and when coupled together resist intrusion of foreign matter, such as dirt, etc., thus reducing wear from abrasive particles.
