Abstract:
This invention is a device that is used for attaching a garden hose to a hose bib (faucet). It consists primarily of two components: an upper part which attaches to a hose bib and a lower part which attaches to the hose. The upper part has a stepped protruding tube which carries two o-rings on its circumference. The lower part has a smooth bore, particularly at the location of the o-rings; and when inserted over the upper tube, results in a pressure tight seal. The two parts are held together by a three-pronged clasp arrangement which facilitates the installation and separation of the two components. Roller bearings incorporated into the upper part and inclined ramps which are part of the lower part assist with the connection.
