ABSTRACT:
In certain embodiments, the present invention includes a method for engaging with a projection of a first component to removably secure a second component to the first component. The method includes positioning a rotatable member of the second component in a first rotational orientation such that the rotatable member is allowed to receive, via a gap in a perimeter of the rotatable member, the projection of the first component. The method also includes positioning the rotatable member in a second rotational orientation such that the rotatable member is prevented from disengaging with the projection of the first component to secure the second component to the first component. The method also includes returning the rotatable member to the first rotational orientation such that the rotatable member is allowed to release, via the gap in the perimeter, the projection of the first component to remove the second component from the first component.
