Claim 9:
10. A releasable coupling device comprising:
a body comprising an aperture;
a sleeve positioned at least partially around, and moveable relative to, at least a portion of the body, the sleeve being moveable between an open position in which at least a portion of the aperture is at least partially unoccluded so as to permit coupling of the device to an attachment receivable within the aperture, and a closed position in which at least the portion of the aperture is at least partially occluded so as to resist decoupling of the device by removal of the attachment from the aperture;
the device defining a track configured to guide the attachment receivable within the aperture along a movement path;
a coiled spring configured to urge the sleeve into the closed position, and wherein the coiled spring is locatable within the body;
a slide positioned within the sleeve and slidable relative to the body in contact with the spring; and
a lock for limiting or preventing movement of one or more of the sleeve, the slide and the coiled spring.
