Abstract
A collar for selectively connecting and disconnecting twines and harness cords in a jacquard harness mechansim for a weaving loom. The collar includes a socket element having at least one elastically deformable chuck with jaws for engaging a prong of a male element inserted within the socket element. The male element includes a shuttle which is moveable along a rod which extends from the prong to an intermediate portion of the male element which aligns the male element with the socket element. The shuttle separates the jaws of the at least one elastically deformable chuck during relative axial movement of the male element with respect to the socket element to permit the prong of the male element to be inserted into or withdrawn from engagement with the socket element.
