Claims20
A coupling device, comprising:
- a body with a top, a bottom, a hinge end, and a lever end;
- a first latch and a second latch respectively moveable via a first lever and a second lever between an unlocked position where the first latch and the second latch are within the body and a locked position where the first latch protrudes from the top and the second latch protrudes from the bottom;
- lobe-shaped recesses or rails extending between the hinge end and the lever end, wherein a first pair of the lobe-shaped recesses or rails are adjacent to the top and a second pair of the lobe-shaped recesses or rails are adjacent to the bottom.
A frame, comprising:
- a plurality of mounts circumferentially arranged along a ring of the frame, wherein each of the plurality of mounts includes a mount opening and lobe-shaped recesses or rails on opposite sides of the mount opening, the lobe-shaped recesses or rails extending axially with respect to the ring.
A coupling system, comprising:
- a plurality of frames, including a first frame and a second frame, arranged in an array or a grid, each frame of the plurality of frames circumferentially surrounding and physically coupled to an optical device;
- and
- a plurality of coupling devices including a first coupling device slidingly engaged with a first mount of the first frame and a second mount of the second frame via complementary rails and recesses, wherein the first coupling device further includes a first latch and a second latch that protrude out of a body of the first coupling device in a locked position and are retractable to within the body in an unlocked position.
