Abstract: A quick connector (10) has a pair of waist segments (76 and 81), a shoulder segment (163), a body segment (72) with an aperture (156) therein, and a leg segment (78). The leg segment (78) is defined by a pair of projecting elements (163) which are at least partially compressible toward one another thereby causing the pair of waist segments (76 and 81) to move toward one another. Thus, a swivellable connection is made which has the equivalent length and diameter of a convention non-swivellable threaded coupling. The quick connector (10) may be released by hand or a snap ring tool inserted into holes (410).

Abstract translation: 快速连接器（10）具有一对腰部段（76和81），肩部段（163），其中具有孔（156）的主体段（72）和腿部段（78）。 腿段（78）由一对突出元件（163）限定，这些突出元件（163）至少部分地彼此相对压缩，从而使一对腰部段（76和81）彼此移动。 因此，制造具有常规非可转动螺纹联接器的等效长度和直径的可转动连接。 快速连接器（10）可以用手或插入孔（410）中的卡环工具来释放。

Abstract: A variable shock absorbing compressional mounting apparatus. The apparatus includes a housing assembly having first and second housing portions, with the second housing portion being operable to move slidably partially inwardly and outwardly relative to the first housing portion, and a cylindrical, elongated elastomer member having a cylindrical, serpentine-shaped spring therein disposed coaxially within said housing assembly. The elongated elastomer member and elongated serpentine-shaped spring operate cooperatively to provide damping characteristics which vary with the compressional and tensional forces exerted on the elastomer member. When the apparatus is secured to two structures moving towards and away from each other in an oscillatory fashion with varying force, the apparatus operates to dampen the oscillatory motions of the structures in accordance with a first damping characteristic until a predetermined force is reached. At this point the elastomer member/serpentine spring combination provides a second damping characteristic which allows for less damping of the oscillating movements of the structures to which the apparatus is secured. The apparatus is particularly well-suited for such applications as mounting motors, engines and other like-vibration inducing structures to frame-like structures. The apparatus provides the further advantage of significantly attenuating vibrational noise normally otherwise transmitted to the frame-like member to which it is attached.
