Abstract:
An apparatus for selectively actuable relative movement between vehicle compartments comprising:a first vehicle compartment mountable to a second vehicle compartment for relative translation therebetween in a first direction,a first actuator mounted to said first vehicle compartment for actuation in a second direction of a follower mounted on a distal end of said actuator,an elongate channel mounted to said second vehicle compartment in a first plane substantially parallel to a plane containing both said first direction and said second direction, said second direction angularly offset in said first plane from said first direction, said channel generally diagonally offset in said first plane from said second direction,said follower mountable in said channel for sliding engagement therealong upon actuation of said first actuator, wherein actuation of said first actuator causes said relative translation between said first and second vehicle compartments.
