ABSTRACT:
A lock pin assembly for a collar bracket which is capable of engaging and releasing a member to be fixed. The lock pin is generally of cylindrical shape having, at one end, a neck portion of a small diameter, a pair of parallel excisions adjacent to the neck portion, the boundary between the neck portion and the excisions forming a shoulder, and, at the opposite end, a tapered tip. The collar bracket is provided with a pair of outwardly extending flanges, each having a hole for housing a pair of respective lock pins in opposite orientation. The lock pins are freely rotatable in the flange holes and are biased rearward by springs. A plate with a U-shaped cut-out is provided adjacent each flange for engaging the shoulder of each respective lock pin when the lock pin is moved forward against its bias and then rotated. When the lock pin is moved inward and rotated to such position, its tapered tip engages the member to be fixed.
