ABSTRACT:
An assembly line fixture includes an elevator having a mounting surface, and a turntable mounted on the mounting surface and rotatable about an axis of rotation with respect to the mounting surface. Also mounted on the mounting surface are a detent mechanism, a locking mechanism, and a clamping mechanism. The detent mechanism includes a roller that is spring biased against the turntable, and that is operable to resist rotation of the turntable at preselected angular positions. The locking mechanism includes a lever, a locking member, and a biasing member. The locking member engages notches in the turntable to prevent the turntable from rotating. The lever actuates the locking member and the biasing member biases the locking member toward the notches for engagement therewith. The clamping mechanism includes at least one clamp that is adapted to engage a portion of an apparatus. The clamping mechanism also includes a clamp-actuating mechanism that causes the clamp to close or open to respectively engage and disengage a portion of an apparatus.
