Abstract:
1. A connector, comprising: a body having an outer surface and at least one shaft projecting along an axis from the outer surface, a retainer projecting from the shaft; a movable member with at least one bearing hole engaging the shaft so that the movable member is supported movably on the body, a notch formed at an edge of the bearing hole, the retainer being receivable in the notch for permitting attachment and detachment of the movable member to and from the shaft in at least a first movement area of the movable member on the body, the retainer being misaligned with the notch for preventing detachment of the movable member from the shaft in at least a second movement area of the movable member on the body; a resilient lock on one of the body and the movable member and being resiliently deformable in a direction substantially parallel with the axis of the shaft, the resilient lock being configured for preventing movement of the movable member when the resilient lock is not deformed; and the movable member being movable through an interference area where the resilient lock is deformed and in sliding contact with one of the movable member and the body and a non-interference area where the resilient lock is not deformed, the notch and the retainer being aligned with each other only when the movable member is in the non-interference area.
