Abstract

An elastic cantilever beam alignment system for the precise mating of first and second components. A first elastic cantilever beam protrudes in parallel from the first component and is elastically over-constrained by two mutually spaced alignment walls of the second component. A second elastic cantilever beam is upstanding in perpendicular relation to the first component and is elastically deformed with respect to a cammed aperture of the second component.
