Locking system for a vehicle slide out tray system

A locking mechanism for a slide out tray system, comprising:

• a cam,
• wherein said cam is directly connected to a lock rod,
• wherein said cam comprises a cam face and a covered cam face that are parallel to one another,
• wherein said cam comprises an arced upper portion, and
• a lock bar lever,
• wherein said lock bar lever comprises an inboard portion and an outboard portion,
• wherein the outboard portion comprises a lower wall,
• wherein the lower wall of the lock bar lever is in pivotable contact with the arced upper portion of the cam.

A locking mechanism for a slide out tray system, comprising:

• a lock bar lever,
• wherein the lock bar lever comprises a lock bar lever flange on a tapered, inboard portion of the lock bar lever, and
• a locking plate,
• wherein said locking plate comprises a first portion and a second portion,
• wherein said first portion of the locking plate comprises a front-end portion and a rear end portion,
• wherein the first portion of the locking plate is connected at the rear-end portion to the second portion of the locking plate via a spring hinge,
• wherein the first portion of the locking plate is angled upward toward the Y axis relative to the second portion of the locking plate,
• wherein the lock bar lever flange is adapted to make selective contact with the front-end portion of the first portion of the locking plate.

A locking mechanism for a slide out tray system, comprising:

• a lock rod,
• wherein said lock rod is rotatable and comprises rectangular lock rod flanges that are cantilevered from the lock rod,
• wherein said rectangular lock rod flanges comprise a plurality of long edges that are parallel to an X axis and a plurality of short edges that are perpendicular to the X axis,
• wherein the lock rod flanges are arranged on the lock rod such that spaces exist between each lock rod flange,
• a bushing,
• a bushing casing,
• wherein said bushing casing is directly attached to an upper portion of a lock angle,
• wherein said bushing casing is adapted to receive a supporting element,
• wherein said supporting element supports the bushing,
• wherein the long edges of the lock rod flanges are adapted to make slidable contact with the bushing,
• wherein the short edges of the lock rod flanges are adapted to make stationary contact with the upper portion of the lock angle when the long edges of the lock rod flanges are not in contact with the bushing.
