A connecting device (300) for connecting an article (800) releasably to a retaining ring (10) includes a housing (4) attached to the article (800), a rotating member (5) mounted rotatably within the housing (4) by a pivot pin (53), and a positioning member (6) disposed movably within the housing (4) . The rotating member (5) is rotatable between a release position and a retaining position, and is biased to the release position. When the retaining ring (10) is inserted into a slot (46) in the housing (4), it engages a retaining groove (51) in the rotating member (5) and rotates the rotating member (5) from the release position to the retaining position. When the rotating member (5) rotates to the retaining position, the positioning member (6) is biased to move within the housing (4) along a direction parallel to the pivot pin (53) so as to engage a positioning unit of the rotating member (5), thereby preventing further rotation of the rotating member (5) relative to the housing (4) . At this time, the retaining ring (5) is confined within the retaining groove (51) in the rotating member (5) and between the rotating member (5) and the housing (4). |
