  • Patent number: 10731945
    Abstract: A housing having a vertically extending axial cavity. An internal body carried in the axial cavity and operable between a raised position and a lowered position within the axial cavity. A socket mount receiving at least a portion of the housing in releasable interlocking engagement. An actuator channel disposed in the housing extending transverse to the axial cavity. An actuating device extending through the actuator channel and engaging the internal body. The internal body is operatively associated with a releasable connection between the housing and the socket mount. The actuating device causes the internal body to be depressed and moved from the raised position to the lowered position within the axial cavity so that the releasable connection is disengaged to release the interlocking engagement of the housing from the socket mount.
