LATCH SYSTEM FOR COUPLING PRECISION FRAMES

A latch system couples precision frames in a way that does not over-constrain the coupled frames. The position of a female latching device mounted to one precision frame is adjustable so that, prior to coupling, the latching device can be aligned to a fixed pin that is part of a fixed pin assembly m...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A latch system couples precision frames in a way that does not over-constrain the coupled frames. The position of a female latching device mounted to one precision frame is adjustable so that, prior to coupling, the latching device can be aligned to a fixed pin that is part of a fixed pin assembly mounted to a second precision frame. Once positioned, the female latching device is fixed in position with respect to the pin and mechanically coupled to the pin, so that the first and second precision frames are not distorted when the coupling takes place. Such latch systems can be used to provide a rigid and over-constrained connection between two structures that does not contain interference fits or the resultant deflection associated with interference fits.
