Claim:
1. A reservoir and straight-line push connector assembly for use with an infusion pump, comprising: a reservoir configured to be slidably received within a threaded infusion pump opening, comprising a proximal end and a distal end, wherein said proximal end comprises a deflectable element and at least one detent to rotationally orient said reservoir with at least one groove in said infusion pump opening to prevent rotation of the reservoir with respect to the infusion pump; and an expander sleeve slidably engaged with said proximal end of said reservoir, configured to slidably move between a first position to deflect said deflectable element of said reservoir against said threaded opening of said infusion pump to thereby secure said reservoir in said infusion pump opening, and a second position to release said deflection of said deflectable element of said reservoir from said infusion pump opening to thereby release said reservoir from said infusion pump opening; wherein said distal end of said reservoir is received within said infusion pump opening when said expander sleeve is slidably engaged with said proximal end of said reservoir.
