Abstract

A system of folding mechanical components comprises a bearing ball, a stationary body defining at least one concave recess sized to receive at least a portion of the bearing ball, a rotatable body rotatably coupled to the stationary body and one or more button members. The rotatable body defines two channels therein, and one or more button members are sized to be disposed in the channels. Each button member defines a recess with a rounded concave portion sized to receive at least a portion of the bearing ball. In a locked position the bearing ball contacts the sloped recesses of the button members and has limited contact with the concave recess of the stationary body. In an unlocked position the bearing ball contacts the rounded concave portions of the button members and has relatively more contact with the concave recess of the stationary body.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application has priority to U.S. Application Serial No. 61 / 358,382, filed June 24, 2010, entitled "Joint Locking Assembly and Method," which is not a provisional application of the above-mentioned U.S. application, the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference In this application. technical field [0003] The present invention relates to joint locking assemblies and methods for locking and folding mechanical components. Background technique [0004] Joint locking assemblies are employed in many different devices to lock joint elements, usually in a fixed relationship. The use of engagement components may be used to enable folding of the device, thereby reducing the area occupied by the device eg for storage or transport purposes. In such mechanisms, the mechanical parts to be folded are joined together at joints which, in use, are securely secured or locked, but which are releasable in prepa...
