Claim 6:
7. A slider comprising:
a first fixed elongate rail;
an elongate link member mounted to the first fixed elongate rail for sliding relative to the first fixed elongate rail between a first position and a second position;
a second elongate rail mounted to the elongate link member for sliding relative to the elongate link member between a third position and a fourth position;
a surface defining a slot, said surface in a fixed relationship with the first fixed elongate rail;
wherein when the elongate link member is releasably secured to the first fixed elongate rail in the first position by a latch on the elongate link member held within the slot, sliding of the second elongate rail into the third position forces the latch out of the slot thereby releasing the elongate link member from the first position and the first fixed elongate rail for sliding towards the second position and releasably secures the second elongate rail to the elongate link member in the third position; and
wherein when the second elongate rail is held to the elongate link member in the third position, sliding of the elongate link member into the first position releases the second elongate rail from the third position and the elongate link member for sliding towards the fourth position and releasably secures the elongate link member to the first fixed elongate rail in the first position.
