Abstract
A quick release mechanism for non-releasable clips is disclosed. The quick release mechanism allows for improved testing of the dimensional quality of manufactured parts having non-releasable mounting features, including clips, plugs, and pins. The mounting features can be reliably mounted for testing, and then removed from a mounting fixture without causing any injury or damage to the non-releasable mounting feature present in the device. The ease of removal is provided by the use of two horizontal segments () positioned in a housing () to form a receiving aperture () for the mounting feature of the tested device. Moreover, the utilization of cables and cable stops to position and hold the horizontal segments of the quick release mount within their housing allows for a tested device to be quickly removed and the horizontal segments to be easily repositioned inside the circular housing where they can accept another manufactured device for dimensional evaluation.
