Abstract:
A non-threaded locking and securing device securing a first support to a second support, comprisinga non-threaded means for securing the first support to the second support, the non-threaded securing means 80 includes a non-threaded securing pin a handle positioned at substantially a coaxial center point of the non-threaded securing pin the non-threaded securing means being movably attached to the first support and being movable between a secured position and an unsecured position with respect to the second support by using a force substantially coaxial center point of the non-threaded securing pin; the non-threaded securing means further including at least one biasing means for holding the non-threaded securing means in the secured positioned, a non-threaded means for locking the non-threaded securing means to the first support when the non-threaded securing means is in the secured position in the second support, the non-threaded locking means being integrally formed with the handle, the non-threaded locking means being in an offset relationship with respect to the non-threaded securing pin the non-threaded locking means comprising an extending section integrally formed with the handle 84, and extending away from the handle a non-threaded engaging section connected to the extending section in a spaced apart relationship to the handle, and a distal end extending from the engaging section; and, the non-threaded securing means and the non-threaded locking means being rotatably moveable about a longitudinal axis extending through the non-threaded securing, pin the non-threaded securing means being longitudinally moveable along the longitudinal axis thereby allowing the non-threaded securing means to be moveable between the secured position and the unsecured position and thereby allowing the non-threaded locking means to be moveable between a locked position and an unlocked position, wherein the handle extends through a line defined by a Y axis and the non-threaded securing pin extends through a line defined by an X axis the non-threaded securing pin and handle being in a same plane defined by the X and Y axes the non-threaded securing pin also being in a parallel relationship with the extending section of the non-threaded looking means which is also in the plane defined by the Y axes, and wherein the non-threaded engaging section is in a plane extending through a line defined by a Z axis in a direction away from the X axis, and the Z axis is perpendicular to both the X and Y axes with the distal end extending from the non-threaded engaging section in a direction toward the handle 84 and the distal end is in a plane extending through a line defined by a second Y axis.
