Abstract: A quick-release clamping mechanism secures two objects and rapidly attaches or detaches to secure the objects to one another in a rigid, repeatable manner. The mechanism is formed from two interconnecting contiguous pieces of material, free from hinges or other attachment devices. The first contiguous piece is attached to a first object, and the second contiguous piece is attached to a second object to be secured to the first object. The piece that forms the first profile can be a rail with a male protrusion. The piece that forms the second profile can be a rail with a female cavity that receives the male protrusion. The mechanism also includes a retention channel, a clamp bar, and a tension device that applies tension to the clamp bar to secure the mechanism. A secondary retention mechanism is provided to prevent separation of the components if the primary locking feature is disengaged inadvertently.
