Track mount base with momentary release

A locking rail base, comprising:

• a case comprising a shell forming a hollow cavity therein with a passage through a crown of the shell opposite of an opening thereinto, and comprising a means for stabilizing the shell;
• a T-bolt anchor comprising a shank having flukes adjacent to an end thereof;
• a T-bolt cylinder positioned within the cavity in the case, the T-bolt cylinder comprising a channel aligned with the passage through the crown of the shell of the case, with the shank of the T-bolt anchor slidable within the channel;
• an anti-rotation means for rotationally fixing the shank of the T-bolt anchor about an axis of the channel of the T-bolt cylinder;
• an actuation means coupled for translating the shank of the T-bolt anchor along the channel of the T-bolt cylinder;
• an anti-actuation means coupled for resisting operation of the actuation means;
• and
• a releasing means coupled for nullifying the anti-actuation means.

A locking rail base, comprising:

• a case comprising a shell forming a hollow cavity and having a pair of stabilizers projected therefrom adjacent to an opening thereinto, and a passage through a crown of the shell opposite of the opening thereinto;
• a T-bolt cylinder slidingly received into the cavity in the case and urged toward the crown thereof, the T-bolt cylinder comprising a channel aligned with the passage through the crown of the shell of the case;
• a T-bolt anchor comprising a shank having flukes adjacent to an end thereof, the shank of the T-bolt anchor being slidingly received into the channel of the T-bolt cylinder and extended through the passage through the crown of the shell of the case;
• an anti-rotation interface between the shank of the T-bolt anchor and the channel of the T-bolt cylinder;
• an actuator positioned externally of the crown of the shell of the case;
• a drive interface between the actuator and an end of the T-bolt anchor shank that is extended through the passage through the crown of the shell of the case;
• an anti-actuation interface between the actuator and the T-bolt cylinder;
• and
• a momentary release mechanism operable for momentarily releasing the anti-actuation interface between the actuator and the T-bolt cylinder.
