ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to an improved releasable locking connector particularly adapted for use in connection with a display apparatus. The connector includes an elongated base which has one end adapted to be secured to a member of a display apparatus and the other end of the base is free. The base has a catch aperture formed on the base adjacent to the free end. A stop is formed in the base adjacent to the end adapted to be secured to a member of a display apparatus. A holding strap is formed integral with the base between the stop and the catch aperture. A catch is mounted on the base. The catch includes a resilient flat beam having one end positioned in engagement with the stop and being positioned between the strap and the base. The catch has a dog formed integral with the end of the beam opposite to the end abutting the stop. The distance from the edge of the beam abutting the stop to the dog is substantially equal to the distance from the stop to the catch aperture. A tubular display member mateably receives the base. The tubular display member has a locking aperture positioned a distance from the free end of the tubular display member equal to the distance between the end of the base adapted to be secured to a member of a display apparatus and the catch aperture in the base. The tubular display member slidably receives the base and engages the dog to depress the dog until the dog enters the lock aperture when the free end of the tubular display member is positioned in abutment with the member of a display apparatus to which the base is secured.
