A quick release interconnect and locking device having a male element that includes a base plate and a cylindrical post attached disposed outwardly from the base plate. A generally circular and planar D-disc is disposed on a distal end of the post. The D-disc includes a flat sliding face defined by a cord truncating a portion of the D-disc. The apparatus also has a female element with a contoured channel that includes an upper portion, a medial portion, and a lower locking portion. A keeper plate with a longitudinally disposed slot is placed over the contoured channel. The medial portion of the contoured channel includes an upper locking face terminating at a lower end in an outward radius, such that when the sliding face of the D-disc is aligned parallel with the upper locking face, the D-disc may be translated downwardly in the contoured channel until it encounters the locking portion. The D-disc may then be rotated again until the sliding face is brought into alignment with a lower locking face of the lower locking portion, and the D-disc may then be translated downwardly in the lower locking portion to a semi-circular portion at the bottom of the contoured channel, where the D-disc may be rotated again to lock it in the lower locking portion.
