Abstract:
A male connector having two (or more) tines or prongs extending from a joined surface or head is inserted into a female connector. This is accomplished by way of pushing the two tines into an entry portal of the female connector which, as the tines are pushed into the female connector, guides the tines away from each other and perpendicular to their direction of entry. The tines may have repeated triangular apexes on the surface, similar to a cable tie, while the female connector has oppositely-disposed triangular surfaces such that when the tines are pushed into the female member, they are irreversibly or substantially irreversibly held into the female connector.
