ABSTRACT:
Connector means are disclosed for connecting together two shaft members in coaxial relationship and in preselected angular orientation with respect to each other. The connector means includes a locking bracket which is secured to one end of the first of the shaft members and a receiver which is secured, by way of an adapter, to the end of the second shaft member. The receiver includes a chamber open at its upper end for slidingly receiving the locking bracket. Both the locking bracket and the receiver have radial extensions which extend in the same radial direction relative to the axis of the coaxial shaft members. Supported on the extension of the locking bracket is a housing containing a spring-loaded pop pin having a nose portion adapted to pass through a hole in the locking-bracket extension and into a hole in the receiver extension, thereby to lock the bracket in the receiver. The pop pin is quickly retractable to unlocked position by a cam manually controlled by a lever. A receiver adapter secures the receiver to the second shaft.
The connector means disclosed are particularly adapted for use in X-ray examination equipment where the image-intensifier assembly is mounted on the second shaft.
