Abstract
Apparatus for accurately registering a first member in an interdependent relationship to a second member including prealigned registration members selectively mounted on the second member and having a first elongated member which defines a primary registration point, a second elongated member which defines a different secondary registration point, which together define a line of rotation, a third elongated member which defines a tertiary registration point located at a point other than on the line of rotation wherein each of the elongated members are positioned in a predetermined pattern and reference registration members mounted on the first member having a first receiving member which defines a primary reference point which receives and engages the first elongated member superimposing the primary registration point on the primary reference point, a second receiving member defining a reference line segment which extends in a preselected direction wherein the second receiving member receives and engages the second elongated member superimposing the second registration point on the reference line to establish a secondary reference point thereon, and a third receiving member defining a reference plane segment which lies in a predetermined direction wherein the third receiving member receives and engages the third elongated member superimposing the third registration point onto the reference plane segment to establish a tertiary reference point and wherein the elongated members co-act interdependently with the receiving members to restrain lineal and rotational movement between the first member and the second member loaded against each other without redundancy of constraint is shown. A method for accurately registering a first member to a second member is also shown.
