Abstract
A releasable connector apparatus is provided for permitting a releasable connection with an object. The apparatus comprises a connector assembly which includes a connector member moveable between connection and disconnection configurations to facilitate a releasable connection with an object. A connector mandrel comprising a support surface is movable relative to the connector assembly such that alignment of the support surface and the connector member locks said connector member in its connected configuration, and misalignment of the support surface and the connector member permits the connector member to be moved towards its disconnected configuration. A limit arrangement of the apparatus is configurable from an activated state in which movement of the connector mandrel is limited to a first range of movement over which alignment of the support surface with the connector member is maintained, to a deactivated state in which movement of the connector mandrel is permitted beyond the first range of movement to allow misalignment of the support surface and the connector member.
