Connection Device

A connection device between a first article and a second article, comprising:

• (a) flexible male element that includes;
• (a)(i) a male element base that is adjacent to the first article;
• (a)(ii) a flexible male extension that has a flexible male extension proximal end portion and an opposing flexible male extension distal end portion with a longitudinal axis spanning therebetween, with said flexible male extension distal end portion terminating in a flexible male extension distal end portion margin, wherein said flexible male extension proximal end portion is adjacent to said male element base, said flexible male extension having a male outer surface disposed between said flexible male extension proximal end portion and said flexible male extension distal end portion, a rib disposed on said male outer surface, wherein said rib is positioned substantially parallel to said longitudinal axis, further said rib extends from said flexible male extension proximal end portion to said flexible male extension distal end portion, wherein said rib has a termination short of said flexible male extension distal end portion margin leaving a gap portion at said male outer surface from said rib termination to said flexible male extension distal end portion margin;
• (b) a flexible female element that includes;
• (b)(i) a female element base that is adjacent to the second article;
• and
• (b)(ii) a flexible female extension that has a flexible female extension proximal end portion and an opposing flexible female extension distal end portion with a longwise axis spanning therebetween, with said flexible female extension distal end portion terminating in a flexible female extension distal end portion margin, wherein said flexible female extension proximal end portion is adjacent to said flexible female element base, said flexible female extension having a female outer surface disposed between said flexible female extension proximal end portion and said flexible female extension distal end portion, a female inner surface disposed between said flexible female extension proximal end portion and said flexible female extension distal end portion, wherein positionally said longitudinal axis and said longwise axis are positioned coincident to one another as between said flexible male and female elements, wherein operationally to manually assemble said connection device into an assembled operational state, said male outer surface is inserted into said female inner surface utilizing said gap portion as a pilot to facilitate ease of an initial slip fit insertion of said male outer surface into said female inner surface after which said rib then contacts said female inner surface and turns said initial slip fit insertion into a progressive frictional interference fit of said male outer surface into said female inner surface that functionally results in a semi-securely hold of said flexible male and female elements together via an increasing contact length along said longitudinal axis of said rib with said female inner surface, to operationally reverse and disassemble said connection device into a disassembled operational state, said flexible male and female elements are manually pulled apart along said longitudinal and longwise axes, against said progressive frictional interference fit that continuously lessens said rib contact length to progressively reduce said frictional interference fit until said flexible male and female elements are separated from one another.
