Easy-To-Use Connector
Abstract
Quick-connect/disconnect mechanism consists of two mating assemblies put together easily, even when initially misaligned by fairly large amounts. Used as electrical- or fluid-connection interface. Operated by humans or robots when fast connections must be made without precise positioning, -- for example, on offshore oil rigs, ship-to-dock links, nuclear facilities, and aircraft at loading gates.
