Abstract
A connector is described which comprises a male member (20) and a female member (30; 40). The male member (20) has two longitudinally spaced sets of three circumferentially flanges (1). When the male member (20) is inserted into the female member (30; 40) the flanges (1) locate in co-operating recesses (11) defined by flanges (31) in a central bore (10) of the female member (30; 40). Located in the body of the female member (30; 40) is a latch (4; 41) which engages a corresponding slot (3) in the end of the male member (20) and prevents relative rotation between the male and female members after connection. The latch (4; 41) is pivotally mounted on the female member (30; 40) and is biassed into engagement with the slot (3) by a spring (6).
