Suspension slider release assembly

A vehicle suspension, comprising:

• a vehicle frame assembly;
• and
• a slider assembly including a slider frame assembly adjustable along a length of the vehicle frame assembly, and a locking arrangement configured to selectively secure the slider frame assembly at a plurality of predefined positions along the length of the vehicle frame assembly, the locking arrangement comprising:
• at least one locking member movable between a locked position where the at least one locking member engages the vehicle frame assembly thereby preventing the slider frame assembly from moving along the length of the vehicle frame assembly, and an unlocked position where the at least one locking member is disengaged from the vehicle frame assembly thereby allowing the slider frame assembly to move along the length of the vehicle frame assembly between the plurality of predefined positions;
• an actuator shaft operably coupled with the at least one locking member such that turning the actuator shaft along a longitudinal axis of the actuator shaft moves the at least one locking member between the locked and unlocked positions, the actuator shaft having a non-circular cross-sectional configuration;
• a spring member positioned over the actuator shaft and configured to bias the at least one locking member toward the locked position;
• and
• an actuator member having a first end releasably coupled to the actuator shaft and a second end configured to receive an input to move the at least one locking member from the locked position to the unlocked position, the actuator member having an aperture that receives an end of the actuator shaft where the aperture has a complimentary configuration to the non-circular cross-sectional configuration of the actuator shaft.

A locking mechanism configured to selectively secure a vehicle slider frame assembly at a plurality of predefined positions along the length of a vehicle frame assembly, the locking arrangement comprising:

• at least one locking member configured to move between a locked position where the at least one locking member is configured to engage the vehicle frame assembly thereby preventing the slider frame assembly from moving along the length of the vehicle frame assembly, and an unlocked position where the at least one locking member is configured to disengage from the vehicle frame assembly thereby allowing the slider frame assembly to move along the length of the vehicle frame assembly between the plurality of predefined positions;
• an actuator shaft operably coupled with the at least one locking member such that turning the actuator shaft along a longitudinal axis of the actuator shaft moves the at least one locking member between the locked and unlocked positions, the actuator shaft including a first portion and a second portion that telescopingly engage one another and are releasably secured to one another;
• and
• a spring member positioned over the actuator shaft and configured to bias the at least one locking member toward the locked position.
