Connector for mechanical waveguides

A connector assembly for connecting together a first mechanical waveguide and a second mechanical waveguide, comprising:

• a first connector body securable to the first mechanical waveguide, the first connector body comprising a first jaw portion provided with a first aperture for receiving the first mechanical waveguide therein;
• a second connector body securable to the second mechanical waveguide, the second connector body comprising a second jaw portion provided with a second aperture for receiving the second mechanical waveguide therein, the first and second connector bodies being removably securable together;
• a first mediating body having an acoustic impedance being lower than an impedance of the first mechanical waveguide, the first mediating body being inserted within the first aperture of the first jaw portion to be positioned between the first jaw portion and the first mechanical waveguide;
• and
• a second mediating body having an acoustic impedance being lower than an impedance of the second mechanical waveguide, the second mediating body being inserted within the second aperture of the second jaw portion to be positioned between the second jaw portion and the second mechanical waveguide;
• wherein one of the first and second connector bodies corresponds to a female connector and another one of the first and second connector bodies corresponds to a male connector being securable within the female connector;
• and
• wherein the second jaw portion is insertable into the first aperture of the first jaw portion so that the second connector body corresponds to the male connector and the first connector body corresponds to the female connector, the connector assembly further comprising a third jaw portion provided with a third aperture for receiving the second mechanical waveguide therein, the third jaw portion being insertable into the second aperture of the second jaw portion.
