Patent ID: 8747324

Claim:
A dual push member actuated needle guide assembly comprising: a stationary base portion configured to cooperate with a transceiver bracket; a needle grasping clamp member which is configured to pivot with respect to said stationary base portion, around a first axis; said needle grasping clamp member having a needle grasping end and a needle grasping member handle end, which is configured to release needle retaining forces when pressed in a first direction; a movable base portion coupled to said stationary base portion configured to contact said transceiver bracket and thereby hold said stationary base portion relative to said transceiver bracket, when said movable base portion is pressed in said first direction; a lock disposed on one of and extending between said stationary base portion and a movable base portion coupled to said stationary base portion; wherein said lock comprises a three-dimensionally rounded head configured to mate with a void in another of said stationary base portion and a movable base portion coupled to said stationary base portion; wherein said movable base portion pivots around a second axis which is parallel to said first axis and orthogonal to a central axis through said three-dimensionally rounded head; a plastic spring biasing member configured to provide a biasing force such that said needle grasping end is urged toward said stationary base portion; wherein said plastic spring biasing member provides a biasing force on said needle grasping member handle end; and said stationary base portion is rigidly configured to contact and encircle a portion of said transceiver bracket.
