AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention is a twist locking apparatus that securely attaches two different components together. It is designed to withstand tension, pressure, and stress, making it ideal for use in situations where durability and efficiency are important. The apparatus consists of a male and female locking member that are efficiently and securely engaged with each other, forming a single unit. It is easy to use and can be adapted for different attachment needs. The technical effect of the invention is to provide a secure and efficient way to attach two components together.

Problems solved by technology

However, button fasteners don't consider as an efficient attachment system in between two metal plates due to the excessive amount of weight.
Additionally, the male and female portion of the snap fastener can disengage from one another without any notification to the user if excessive amount of force is applied to the snap fastener.
Most of the other existing attachment systems that provide a secured attachment between two different components either take up a lot time to put together due to their component configurations or may not be feasible with smaller components that need to be attached.

Embodiment Construction

[0020]All illustrations of the drawings are for the purpose of describing selected versions of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0021]The present invention is a twist locking apparatus, where the present invention efficiently and securely attaches two different components into a single unit. In reference to FIG. 1, the present invention comprises a male locking member 1 and a female locking member 2, and the male locking member 1 and the female locking member 2 are selectively engaged with each other so that the two different components can be attached to each other. Generally, the male locking member 1 is connected with a first attachment member 3, and the female locking member 2 is connected with a second attachment member 4, where the first attachment member 3 and the second attachment member 4 are attached together by the engagement of the male locking member 1 and the female locking member 2 to form the single unit. The pres...

Abstract

A twist locking apparatus includes a male locking member and a female locking member. The male locking member is selectively engaged with the female locking member in order to attach two different materials as the two different materials are separately connected with the male locking member and the female locking member. A first locking flange and a second locking flange of the male locking member engage with a first locking track and a second locking track of the female locking member so that the twist locking apparatus can be easily and efficiently rotated in between an unsecured configuration and a secured configuration in order to attach the two different materials.

Description

[0001]The current application claims a priority to the U.S. Provisional Patent application Ser. No. PCT / US2013 / 030873 filed on Mar. 13, 2013.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention relates generally to an apparatus for a locking system. More specifically, the present invention is a twist locking apparatus that efficiently secures two different components in order to withstand the tension, pressure, and the stress of the two different components.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]Many different attachment systems are used within different apparatus so that two different components can be attached together by the attachment systems. The conventional attachment systems, include, but are not limited, button and hole fastening systems, magnetic fastening systems, bolt and nut fastening systems, and buckle fastening systems. All of the existing attachment systems allow the users to secure and unsecure two different components upon their discretion. Depending on different apparatus...
