Abstract

L'invention concerne un connecteur destiné principalement mais pas nécessairement à l'ancrage sous-marin. Ce connecteur comprend une sonde (100) pouvant être insérée à l'intérieur d'un réceptacle (101) conçu pour être ancré à un emplacement déterminé (102). Cette sonde (100) comprend un mandrin intérieur (3) pourvu d'une cage extérieure à billes ou rouleaux (7), les billes ou rouleaux (8) glissant sur des rampes respectives (110) dudit mandrin et pouvant engager la surface de paroi intérieure du réceptacle (101) de façon à verrouiller la sonde et le réceptacle lorsqu'une charge risquant de séparer ces deux parties est appliquée sur le mandrin. Des manchons (10) et (12) sont alimentés séparément par des ressorts (1) et une tige (2) peut être retirée pour permettre aux manchons (10) et (12) de se déplacer séparément, de sorte qu'un réseau périphérique de billes (14) glisse sur des rampes inverses associées (9) pour verrouiller le manchon (10) et la cage à billes (7) par rapport au mandrin (3), de façon à éviter le retrait des billes ou rouleaux (8) et à maintenir la sonde (1) et le réceptacle (101) en position de verrouillage mutuel.
