Abstract
A peristaltic pump is provided. The peristaltic pump includes a housing for a motors a receiving plate mounted to the housing, a locking plate, and a biasing member. The locking plate includes a first aperture capable of receiving a hook extending from a pump head, a second aperture capable of receiving a drive shaft of the pump head, and a release member. The biasing member elastically couples the receiving plate with the locking plate. Use of the release member by a user causes movement of the locking plate relative to the receiving plate to release the hook when received in the first aperture thereby releasing the pump head from the locking plate.
