  • Patent number: 12023531
    Abstract: A connector includes a first ring with a blocker collaborating with a rod. The rod is movable between a first position where the first ring is closed and a second position where the first ring is open. The blocker is movable between a first position collaborating with the rod to keep the first ring closed and a second position allowing opening of the first ring. A second ring includes a probe. The probe is connected to the blocker. When the distance between the probe and the sliding area is greater than a threshold value, the probe prevents opening of the first ring by the blocker. When the distance between the probe and the sliding area is smaller than the threshold value, the probe allows opening of the first ring by the blocker.
