<p>A locking mechanism comprising a socket and a body member slidably received in an opening in the socket; the socket or body member having an engageable member for exerting a bias against the other member when the body member is slidably received in the socket, the other member having a first set of channels comprising a first longitudinally disposed channel for receiving the engageable member when the body member is received in the socket, a second longitudinally disposed channel disposed parallel to the first channel spaced from the first channel, and a transverse channel connecting the first and second channels, the first channel terminating in a locking area having a depth greater than a depth of the first channel immediately adjacent the locking area and the locking area being contiguous with the transverse channel, whereby when the body member is slidably received in the socket with the engageable member received in the first channel, the engageable member will be prevented from further slidable movement in the first channel when said engageable member is received in the locking area, said engageable member being biased into said locking area and being prevented from disengaging from said locking area and thereby locking said body member into said socket. The body member can be removed by rotating the body member and withdrawing it by a pulling action whereby the engageable member slides in and out of the second channel.</p> |
