Abstract

A quick connect closure for connecting first and second structural members, said quick connect closure comprising a female part adapted to be connected to said first structural member and comprising a pair of opposite spring legs, and a closure pin adapted to be mounted to said second structural member so as to be rotatable about an axis of said quick connect closure and comprising a drive portion, a shaft-like intermediate portion and a closure body, said closure pin being adapted to be axially inserted into said female part in order to provide for a locking connection between said closure pin and said female part when said female part and said closure pin are in at least one locking position with respect to each other, and said spring legs of said female part cooperating with said closure body of said closure pin such that the closure pin is automatically rotated into said at least one locking position when the closure pin is in a rotational position spaced from said at least one locking position at the time when the closure pin is inserted into said female part, the improvement being that said female part is made of plastic material and is formed as a circumferentially closed box-type body having a pair of wall portions comprising said spring legs which are radially inwardly offset with respect to the remaining box-type body and are resiliently connected thereto.
