  • Patent number: 5598928
    Abstract: A device for joining a first container to a second container, in which a first face of the first container is alignable with a second face of the second container along a longitudinal axis, includes a first narrowed portion, a second narrowed portion and a sleeve. The first narrowed portion is disposed adjacent the first face of the first container. The second narrowed portion is disposed adjacent the second face of the second container. The sleeve is disposed around the first narrowed portion and is shaped to slide parallel to the longitudinal axis from a first position to a second position. The sleeve in the second position at least partially covers and threadedly engages a corresponding threaded portion of the second container. As a result, the device permits two containers to be joined securely yet disassembled quickly.
