Abstract
A projection device is provided with a locking device to couple a first optical component to a second optical component that is configured to be disposed adjacent to the first component to define an optical path. The locking device includes a latch mechanism and an alignment system. The latch mechanism may be coupled to the second component and may be configured to enable a user to manually couple the second component to the first component and to manually release the second component from the first component. The alignment system and the latch mechanism may be configured to cooperatively and releasably couple the second component to the first component in a predetermined orientation.
