Quick-connect coupling and decoupling tool

摘要

A quick-connect coupling tool includes a first member and a second member. The second member is slidably affixed to the first member. The quick-connect coupling tool further includes a first pair of prongs and a second pair of prongs, the first pair of prongs is affixed to the first member, oriented in a first direction, and orthogonal to the first member. The second pair of prongs is affixed to the first member, oriented in the first direction, and orthogonal to the second member. The quick-connect coupling tool includes a first urging means for urging the first pair of prongs and the second pair of prongs apart and a second urging means for urging the first pair of prongs and the second pair of prongs together. The first urging means and the second urging means are affixed to the first member and the second member.

主权项

1. A quick-connect coupling tool comprising:
a first member; said first member comprising a first member top face, a first member bottom face, a first member first end, and a first member second end; a second member; said second member comprising a second member top face, a second member bottom face, a second member first end, and a second member second end; said second member being slidably affixed to said first member such that said first member top face and said second member bottom face are slidably opposed to one another; a first pair of prongs; said first pair of prongs being affixed to said first member first end; said first pair of prongs being oriented in a first direction, orthogonal to said first member top face; a second pair of prongs; said second pair of prongs being affixed to said second member first end; said second pair of prongs being oriented in said first direction, orthogonal to said second member top face; a first urging means for urging said first pair of prongs and said second pair of prongs apart along an action line into a neutral configuration; a second urging means for urging said first pair of prongs and said second pair of prongs together along said action line from said neutral configuration; said first urging means for urging said first pair of prongs and said second pair of prongs together along said action line from said neutral configuration being affixed to said first member and said second member; said second urging means for urging said first pair of prongs and said second pair of prongs together along said action line from said neutral configuration being affixed to said first member and said second member; and wherein said first urging means for urging said first pair of prongs and said second pair of prongs apart along an action line into a neutral configuration and said second urging means for urging said first pair of prongs and said second pair of prongs together along said action line from said neutral configuration comprise: a first urging member; said first urging member being affixed to said first member second end; said first urging member being oriented opposite said first direction, orthogonal to said first member top face; a second urging member; said second urging member being affixed to said second member second end; said second urging member being oriented opposite said first direction, orthogonal to said second member top face; and wherein said first urging means for urging said first pair of prongs and said second pair of prongs apart along an action line into a neutral configuration comprise: a spring; said spring comprising a spring first end and a spring second end; said spring first end being affixed to said first urging member; and said spring second end being affixed to said second urging member.
