Abstract
A detachable coupling arrangement (1) for connecting a handle (2) to a utensil comprises a male portion (5), a female portion (4) adapted to receive the male portion (5), and a stop element (6) for preventing movement of the male portion (5) relative to the female portion (4) in an upward direction (A) A first retention element and a resiliently deformable second retention element (8) are configured to cooperate to prevent movement in a downward direction (B) when the female portion (4) is coupled to the male portion (5). The first retention element includes a retention surface and a lower surface (23). The second retention element (8) engages the lower surface (23), as the male portion (5) is received in the female portion (4) in the upward direction, and resiliently deforms so that the second retention element (8) locates over the first retention element and abuts against the retention surface.
