ABSTRACT:
A quick release mechanism includes a cylindrical rod having two opposed ends and an intermediate portion formed with a diametrically extending screw hole. A mounting shaft has first and second threaded ends. A locking nut is connected to the second threaded end of the mounting shaft. A manually operated lever has an end portion and a pair of spaced lugs which extend longitudinally from the end portion and which are formed with aligned eccentric holes that receive respectively the opposed ends of the cylindrical rod therein. Each of the lugs has a cam edge. A pressing member has a concave surface in contact with the cam edges of the manually operated lever and a generally U-shaped connecting member which has two distal ends extending integrally from the surface of the pressing member. The connecting member and the pressing member cooperatively define therebetween an oblong receiving space for receiving the cylindrical rod therein. The pressing member is formed therethrough with a through-hole which is aligned with an axis of the connecting member and which is communicated with the receiving space so as to permit the first threaded end of the mounting shaft to extend into the receiving space through the through-hole and to connect with the screw hole of the cylindrical rod. The connecting member and the cylindrical rod fill up a space between the lugs.
