QUICK RELEASE STRAP TUBE MOUNT

A quick release strap tube mount is for mounting a strap tube to an equipment item. The strap tube has a notch formed therein and provides a channel for conveyance of strapping material. The mount includes a housing defining a strap tube channel. At least one locking arm is mounted to and disposed within the housing. The locking arm is disposed outside of the strap tube channel. A locking hub is operably connected to the locking arm and extends into the strap tube channel. The locking hub engages the strap tube at the notch. The locking arm and hub are pivotable relative to the housing between a latched position and a release position. A biasing element is coupled to the locking arm and the housing to bias the locking arm into the latched position and a release member is operably connected to the locking arm to move the locking arm and hub from the latched position to the release position to release the strap tube.
