simple quick mechanical disconnect
(OP)
Hi there,
A very simple one. I am looking to incorporate a mechanical quick disconnect feature into a consumer product. I am inserting a round member(5/8") into another(3/4 or 1 ") to a depth of 1/2" or so. The material is Delrin. The connection needs to be rattle proof tight, but not much more. The joint needs to assure radial location and would see no more than 100 lbs of force along its axis . My primary concern is cost. Does anyone have any experience with this type of application. Perhaps some kind of square thread, or standard thread with a locating hole? Thumb screw or spring type quick release handle? Any general tips would be appreciated. Thanks

Can you just drill the 5/8" cylinder radially and put in a quick release pin like these? http://www.jergensinc.com/site/sfg_kwik-lok%C2%AE_...

So that's where the locks on those EZ-Up tents flung beside the road on trash day came from.
