Equipment retention system

A retention system for equipment, comprising:

• an adapter assembly securable to equipment, the adapter assembly comprising an interface having a locking recess;
• a base plate assembly, comprising:
• a base plate,
• an adapter assembly guide adjacent the base plate wherein the adapter assembly guide receives the interface therein thereby coupling the adapter assembly with the base plate assembly, and
• a locking mechanism coupled with the base plate, and being user movable from an engaged position and a disengaged position, wherein, in the engaged position, the locking mechanism engages the locking recess of the interface, thereby locking the adapter assembly with the base plate assembly, and further wherein, when a user moves the locking mechanism to the disengaged position, the locking mechanism disengages from the locking recess of the interface, thereby unlocking the adapter assembly from the base plate assembly.

A retention system for equipment, comprising:

• an adapter assembly securable to equipment, the adapter assembly including a triangular shaped interface having a width and defining a base at a first upper end and a rounded apex at a second lower end, wherein the interface tapers from the first upper end to the second lower end such that the base at the first upper end is wider than the rounded apex at the second lower end, further wherein the rounded apex at the second end provides a point of insertion for the interface;
• a base plate assembly, comprising:
• a base plate, and
• an adapter assembly guide adjacent the base plate for receiving therein the interface of the adapter assembly, the adapter assembly guide including a first guide rail having a first upper portion and a second lower portion opposed to a second guide rail having a first upper portion and a second lower portion, the first and second guide rails defining a funnel shape whereby their first upper portions taper to their second lower portions, wherein the first upper portions are wider than the base at the first upper end of the interface of the adapter assembly to provide an entrance for the rounded apex at the second lower end of the interface between the first and second guide rails and further to funnel the interface toward the second lower portions whereby the interface due to the rounded apex at the second lower end enters the second lower portions, further wherein the first and second guide rails taper along their second lower portions and are spaced apart at their second lower portions substantially the same as the width of the interface of the adapter assembly such that the first and second guide rails engage the interface thereby coupling the adapter assembly with the base plate assembly.
