A quick connect coupling assembly for mounting an accessory tube to a mounting base having a stem connecting a ball to the base. The assembly includes a cylindrically shaped main body having a cavity formed therein for receiving the ball. A coupling sleeve has an orifice and a profiled cutout formed in the circumference of the sleeve. A spring is disposed on the main body and abutting the sleeve. A guiding mechanism is fixed to the main body and interacts with the orifice for compressing the spring and mounting the sleeve on the main body. The guiding mechanism aligns the cutout with the cavity when the sleeve and the main body are positioned in a receiving position for receiving the ball.
