摘要：A connection arrangement for use in establishing a connection with an objectcomprises a body and a connection member comprising a plurality of dogs each pivotallyarranged relative to the body about a pivot axis and including an engagement feature,wherein the dogs are pivotal between an engaged configuration in which the engagementfeature is engaged with the object to provide a connection thereto, and a disengagedconfiguration in which the engagement feature is disengaged from the object. Theconnection arrangement further includes an actuator member, wherein the dogs andactuator member define a pair of complementary actuation surfaces which cooperatewhen the actuator member moves from a first to a second direction to cause the pluralityof dogs to pivot from the engaged configuration towards the disengaged configuration.A first actuation surface on the actuator member includes a first cam and a second camwhich are in continuous contact with a second actuation surface on the plurality of dogs.Three points of contact between each dog, its respective pivot axis and the first andsecond cams, are formed and arranged to fix the position of each dog relative to a givenposition of the actuator member, at least until the engagement feature has engaged withthe object.
