Bayonet attachment mechanisms

Номер: US20140071548A1
Принадлежит: Apple Inc

An attachment mechanism includes a compliance member positioned between a body and bayonets. The bayonets collectively define an aperture therebetween. Alignment members prevent rotation of the bayonets relative to the body while allowing the bayonets to move radially outwardly against the compliance member. When a second attachment mechanism is received in the aperture of the first attachment mechanism, relative rotation therebetween may interlock corresponding bayonets thereof. The attachment mechanisms may release from one another in a drop event or other incidence of force applied thereto by allowing a bayonet to radially move outwardly out of contact with a corresponding bayonet of the second attachment mechanism. Related methods are also provided.

A quick disconnect device for detachably holding a long gun or other elongated emergency tool (EET). The quick disconnect device receives and captures the ball of a ball-and-stem structure that is attached to the EET. The quick disconnect device may allow the EET to rotate about the central axis of the stem, but otherwise prevents relative translational and rotational motion between the EET and the quick disconnect device. The quick disconnect device is especially suitable for mounting to clothing, such as a utility belt or a ballistic vest. the quick disconnect device allows the EET to be inserted without requiring the user to directly manipulate the quick connection device, but requires the user to manipulate some sort of mechanism on the quick connect device in order to release the EET. 1. A quick disconnect device configured to detachably capture a ball of a ball-and-stem structure , the quick disconnect device comprising:a mounting plate;a front plate, the front plate defining a first ball-entry opening; andan intermediate portion positioned between the front plate and the mounting plate, the intermediate portion defining: (i) a second ball-entry opening; (ii) an internal ball recess comprising a moveable recess closure member comprising a third ball-entry opening, and a ball-engaging member comprising a fourth ball-entry opening; and (iii) a conical ball-directing surface angled from the first ball-entry opening of the front plate to the second ball-entry opening, wherein the first ball-entry opening of the front plate is wider than the second ball-entry opening, and further wherein the second ball-entry opening is centered relative to the first ball-entry opening;wherein the moveable recess closure member is configured to be moveable within the internal ball by a user recess between: (i) an unlocked position aligning the third ball-entry opening of the moveable recess closure member and the fourth ball-entry opening of the ball-engaging member such that the ...
