Abstract

The releasable strap connector has a female connector and male connector, the latter having one or more prongs insertable in pockets of the female connector; a rocking bar has cut-away portions intersecting said pockets to interlock with correspondingly cut-away portions of the prongs of the male member, and a manipulating yoke lever for rocking the bar into a releasing position where the bar is withdrawn from said prongs. The yoke lever has a manipulating handle which includes one or more plungers projectable from the hollow handle into suitable keepers in the frame of the female member to positively hold the yoke lever in position corresponding to the interlocking position of the locking bar and optionally also to hold the lever in position corresponding to the releasing position of the rocking bar; each plunger being urged outwardly by a spring and is retracted inwardly of the hollow handle by coacting slanted groove and pin which respond to manual rotation of a sleeve to retract the plunger and when released to permit the spring to return the plunger to a projecting locking position; the sleeve is rotatable relatively to the hollow handle, which latter is partly cut-away to expose the rotating sleeve for manipulation.
