Abstract
The quick attachment device for the harness of a piece of equipment, which can be used to attach an oxygen mask to an aviator's helmet, comprises a receiver member adapted to receive a bayonet member securely connected to the harness. The bayonet member cooperates with the receiver member via locking means which can be retracted by pulling on a control plate which is carried by the bayonet member and can slide thereon. The bayonet member is formed by a solid blade bearing a rack engaging with retractable locking fingers provided on the receiver member and the control plate comprises notches which have the same pitch as those of the rack, and whose profile is such that they displace the resilient fingers out of the rack when the control plate is pulled, in the direction corresponding to the withdrawal of the bayonet member, from the abutment position into which it is resiliently urged.
