Transversely clampable linear adjustment mechanism

A linear adjustment mechanism comprising an adjustment plate, an adjustment nut, and a holding plate, wherein:

• the adjustment plate comprises:
• an exterior-threaded section that engages with the adjustment nut;
• a mounting-bolt opening that receives a mounting bolt;
• and
• a clamping-bolt slot that receives a clamping bolt;
• the holding plate comprises:
• a horizontal section having a clamping-bolt opening that receives the clamping bolt;
• and
• a feature that engages with the adjustment nut;
• and
• the holding plate engages with the adjustment nut such that, with (i) the adjustment nut also engaged with the exterior-threaded section of the adjustment plate and (ii) the clamping bolt inserted within (a) the clamping-bolt slot of the adjustment plate and (b) the clamping-bolt opening of the holding plate:
• rotation of the adjustment nut on the exterior-threaded section of the adjustment plate adjusts a linear position of the adjustment plate relative to the holding plate;
• and
• rotation of the clamping bolt secures the linear position of the adjustment plate relative to the holding plate.
