Abstract:
An attachment system for temporarily attaching an apparatus to a holder, said system comprising:said holder comprising a base and a front plate spaced from said base in a first distance in a first direction, said front plate having a slot formed therein having a width, substantially perpendicular to said first direction;a locking part extending outwardly from said base toward said front plate, and aligned with said slot, said locking part having a width and a length and a thickness, said thickness less than said first distance;an apparatus comprising a support, a supporting member protruding outwardly from said support, and an annular connecting member connected to said supporting member, said supporting member having a width;said annular connecting member comprising an annular wall having an outer diameter, and an inner diameter, and comprising an opening within said inner diameter;said wall having a gap formed therein having a width; andwherein said holder and said apparatus are constructed and dimensioned so that said gap width is greater than said locking part width, said locking part length is less than said inner diameter, said supporting member width is less than said slot width and less than said outer diameter, and said outer diameter is greater than said slot width, so that said annular connecting member is movable from an unlocked position to between said base and said front plate with said supporting member within said slot and with said locking part aligned with and passing through said gap until said locking part is within said opening within said inner diameter, and then said support is rotatable with respect to said base about an axis substantially aligned with said supporting member to a position in which said apparatus will be locked to said holder unless rotated to said unlocked position.
