quick-release

Rapid disconnect mechanism

Quick-release describes a mechanism designed for fast removal or detachment without tools: a quick-release skewer on a bicycle wheel, a quick-release buckle on a harness.

The design prioritizes speed and convenience—you can swap or adjust components in seconds rather than fumbling with bolts or screws.
