Claim 5:
6. A method for building a quick release connector for coupling and decoupling a removable device from a mounting surface, the method comprising:
manufacturing a mount plate with coupling means for operably coupling the mount plate with the mounting surface, the mount plate including a first alignment notch, the mount plate having a first end geometrically accommodating the mounting surface and the mount plate having a second end geometrically accommodating the removable device;
manufacturing a latch cog having a plurality of mount tabs surrounding a circular feature, at least one of the plurality of mount tabs including a cog pin depression, at least one of the plurality of mount tabs keyed to enable a pre-selected orientation of the removable device with respect to the mounting surface;
removably coupling the latch cog to the second end;
manufacturing a latch plate having a plurality of recesses sized to accommodate the plurality of mount tabs, at least one of the plurality of recesses having a plate pin depression, at least one of the plurality of recesses keyed to accommodate the at least one keyed mount tab;
manufacturing a release lever having a pin, the release lever having a spring seated in a depression in the release lever, the release lever having a release lever body and coupling feet; and
manufacturing a top mount having a third pin depression, the top mount geometrically accommodating the release lever body and the coupling feet, the coupling feet being rotatably coupled to the top mount, the top mount including a first attachment means removably coupling the removable device to the top mount.
