A connector is provided for selectively connecting or disconnecting a
stripper rubber to or from drilling head equipment such as a bearing
assembly. A generally cylindrical adapter connected to the equipment
defines a primary bore to accommodate a down hole tubular. One or more
cam pin bores, adapted to house one ore more cam pins, are positioned
radially around the adapter substantially parallel to the primary bore.
One or more cam lock bores adapted to house one or more at least
partially rotatable cam locks, are offset from the pin cam bores such
that each cam pin bore partially intersects a corresponding cam lock bore
to form an aperture through which the cam lock engages the cam pin. One
or more cam pins are connected to the stripper rubber; and one or more at
least partially rotatable cam locks housed in the cam lock bores of the
adapter optionally engage or disengage the pin cams to respectively
connect or disconnect the stripper rubber to or from the equipment.
