Twist Locking Apparatus

Abstract

A twist locking apparatus includes a male locking member and a female locking member. The male locking member is selectively engaged with the female locking member in order to attach two different materials as the two different materials are separately connected with the male locking member and the female locking member. A first locking flange and a second locking flange of the male locking member engage with a first locking track and a second locking track of the female locking member so that the twist locking apparatus can be easily and efficiently rotated in between an unsecured configuration and a secured configuration in order to attach the two different materials.
