Abstract: A release bracket for an inline releasable plug and socket type connection comprises a collar having a forward end, a rear end and defining an opening having an axis. An inline plug or socket component is slidably accommodated in the opening of the collar, the plug or socket component having a forward end and a rear end. A handle having a first end is pivotally connected to the collar for rotation about the pivotal connection, and a bracket is pivotally connected at one of its ends to the plug or socket component and pivotally connected at an opposing end thereof to the handle. When the handle is rotated about its pivotal connection to the collar, the collar and the plug or socket component move relative to each other between a first position where the forward end of the plug or socket component is a distance from the forward end of the collar and a second position where the plug or socket component is a greater distance from the forward end of the collar.

Abstract: A clamp for an inline connector having a male and a female component comprises a first sleeve having a peripheral portion defining an opening for receiving and holding the male or female component. A second sleeve is provided adjacent the first sleeve and has an opening therein which is adjacent the opening in the first sleeve. A handle having a first end is pivotally connected to the first sleeve for rotation about the pivotal connection. A bracket is pivotally connected to the second sleeve member at one end thereof and pivotally connected to the handle at another end thereof. Rotation of the handle about its pivotal connection to the first sleeve moves the first sleeve and the second sleeve relative to each other between a first position where the first sleeve and the second sleeve are closer to each other and a second position where the first sleeve and the second sleeve are further apart from each other.
