Definitions

  • a sheet holder connector 50 is attached to sheet holder 32.
  • sheet holder 32, connector 50 includes a sheet holder connector rod 52, i.e., a male rod, affixed to sheet holder 30, a spherical rod end 54 inserted in a female channel 58 mounted in the surface treating apparatus (not shown).
  • compliant elastic elements 56 may be affixed to the interior of the female channel 58. When spherical rod end 54 is inserted into the female channel 58, it displaces the compliant elastic elements 56, which serve to retain the spherical rod end 54 in the female channel 58.
  • Sheet holder 30 is conversely detached by pulling it away from surface treating apparatus 20.
