Claim:
An integrated locking assembly comprising: a linear locking mechanism including opposing locking plates having aligned bores that can lock onto a rod extending through the bores; and a rotary locking mechanism including an output shaft, said linear locking mechanism and said rotary locking mechanism being simultaneously locked and unlocked, where the rotary locking mechanism includes rollers positioned between a fixed housing and a cam, said rollers being wedged between the housing and the cam to lock the rotary locking mechanism and being positioned in an open position between the housing and the cam to unlock the rotary locking mechanism, and where the rotary locking mechanism includes a plate and a plate spring, where the plate spring biases the plate to a locking position and pressure applied to the plate against the bias of the plate spring causes a first angled wedge member to push against a second angled wedge member so that the first and second wedge members push against the rollers to push the rollers into the open position.
