Abstract

A card coupling apparatus includes a first surface. A locating member extends from the first surface and includes a control surface that is oriented at an angle relative to the first surface and defines a securing channel that is located adjacent the control surface. A plurality of securing devices extend from the first surface in a spaced apart relationship from the locating member, each securing device including a locating post and a securing member located adjacent the locating post. A card may be coupled to the first surface by engaging the locating member and the securing devices with the card. The card may then be decoupled from the first surface by using one hand to disengage the securing members from the card and remove the card from the securing devices.
