Patent ID: 7163220

Claim:
A slider assembly providing a connection between a vehicle body and a vehicle suspension, the slider assembly comprising: a frame; a locking mechanism attached to the frame, the locking mechanism comprising: a locking pin movable in and out of engagement with the vehicle body; a first spring adjacent the locking pin; a pivot arm movable between a locked position and an unlocked position; a second spring between the pivot arm and the locking pin; when the pivot arm is in the locked position, the second spring does not exert a bias on the locking pin and the first spring exerts a bias on the locking pin so as to bias the locking pin into engagement with the vehicle body so as to secure together the vehicle body and the vehicle suspension; and, when the pivot arm is in the unlocked position, the second spring exerts a bias on the locking pin that overcomes the bias of the first spring thereby biasing the locking pin out of engagement with the vehicle body so that the vehicle body is slidable with respect to the vehicle suspension.
