Patent ID: 7203067

Claim:
An apparatus for securing a modular component comprising: a jointed cam arm including a first portion and a second portion pivotally connected to the first portion; a flexible member on the first portion; a pivot limiting catch on the second portion, the catch being operable to engage with the flexible member to position the first portion at an angle relative to the second portion and restrict pivoting of the first portion relative to the second portion in order to allow a force that is applied to the first portion to be transmitted to the second portion through the engagement of the catch and the flexible member such that the first portion and the second portion may pivot about a common axis; and in response to the force applied to the first portion becoming sufficient to flex the flexible member, the first portion becoming pivotable relative to the second portion to reduce the relative angle with the second portion such that the force transmitted from the first portion to the second portion is reduced.
