LOCKING HUB AND RELATED SYSTEMS AND METHODS

Abstract

A locking mechanism is provided including a proximal component including a distal end including a first spanning distance and a gap disposed between a material of the distal end defining the first spanning distance. A distal component is rotationally coupled with the proximal portion. The distal component includes a cavity including a distal end, the cavity rotationally coupled with the distal end of the proximal component. The cavity includes a second spanning distance of the distal end of the cavity. A rotation of the proximal component with respect to the distal component, or the distal component with respect to the proximal component, is configured to align a direction of the first spanning distance with a direction of the second spanning distance and diminish the gap of the proximal component.
