Claims25
A locking slider assembly comprising:
- a slider comprising a follower;
- and
- a rail engaged to the follower, so that the follower can move along the rail when the assembly is in a first state and the follower cannot move along the rail when the assembly is in a second state.
The assembly of claim 7, wherein the rail has an exterior surface, and further comprising:
- an elongated actuator inside the rail;
- at least one member attached to the actuator, the at least one member positioned to extend along the outside surface of the rail when the actuator moves in a first direction, and to retract into the rail through the at least one transverse opening when the actuator moves in a second direction.
A method for manufacturing a locking sliding assembly, the method comprising:
- producing a slider comprising a follower;
- assembling a rail having a first profile that allows the follower to slide along the rail and a second profile that does not allow the follower to slide along the rail;
- and
- slidably attaching the follower to the rail.
