Patent ID: 7204721

Claim:
A connector comprising a first locking device attached to a connector body, said first locking device including a first end fixedly attached to said connector body and a second end extending a distance from said connector body, and said first locking device is resilient such that said second end of said first locking device can be moved to an inner position against said connector body for permitting said connector body to be engaged within a female connector adapted to receive said connector body and such that said second end must thereafter be deflected toward said connector body for disconnection of said connector body from the female connector, and a second locking device attached to said connector body including a locking pin movable relative to said connector body and said second end of said first locking device, such that said first locking device can be selectively firmly locked in the outer position by displacement of said locking pin of said second locking device to prevent movement of said second end to inner position.
