ABSTRACT:
A top plate release mechanism that comprises a sliding portion that forces locking tabs that are mounted in a mounting bracket to be dislocated to a releasing position, in order to allow a top plate to easily be removed from a probe plate assembly. The top plate release mechanism comprises biasing means to maintain the mechanism in a locked position until the sliding portion is moved. The top plate release mechanism may also comprise a locking feature that fixedly locks the release mechanism to prevent the locking tabs from prematurely returning to a locked position.
