    Abstract: A quick connect system for vent hose hook-up is provided. In an implementation, a quick-connect member can be quickly attached to a source of airflow without using tools. The quick-connect member has a built-in clamp that attaches to the airflow source, and can be secured to the source of airflow by finger-tightening. A quick-connect lock on the other end of the quick-connect member enables a vent hose to be quickly connected to the member, also without using tools. The quick-connect lock also allows unhooking of the set-up without tools in order to clean inside ducts, vents, and hoses, and then fast reattachment without tools. The quick connect system alleviates the difficulty of connecting exit hoses to the airflow vent of a clothes dryer, in the limited and confined space behind the clothes dryer.
