Abstract:
1. An assembly, comprising: a base plate comprising a latching mechanism; a handle slidably attached to the base plate such that the handle can slide relative to the base plate along a first axis, the handle having a structure which extends from the handle, wherein the latching mechanism latches onto a part of the handle when the handle reaches a particular position to prevent the handle from sliding relative to the base plate; and a movable plate slidably attached to the base plate such that the movable plate can slide relative to the base plate along a second axis, wherein the second axis is substantially perpendicular to the first axis, the movable plate having an elongated ramp slot which extends along a third axis, wherein the third axis is angled relative to the first axis; wherein the structure extending from the handle is disposed within and is slidable along the elongated ramp slot of the movable plate such that, as the handle slides in a first direction along the first axis, the structure slides in a first direction along the elongated ramp slot, thereby causing the movable plate to slide in a first direction along the second axis, and as the handle slides in an opposite direction along the first axis, the structure slides in an opposite direction along the elongated ramp slot, thereby causing the movable plate to slide in an opposite direction along the second axis.
