主权项

1. A fence adjustment system comprising:
a housing; a drift adjustment mechanism coupled to the housing and configured to displace a portion of a fence away from the housing, the fence being attached to the housing such that displacement of the portion of the fence by the drift adjustment mechanism causes the fence to rotate about a fulcrum; a lock movable between a locked configuration and an unlocked configuration, wherein the lock limits displacement of the fence relative to the housing when the lock is in a locked configuration; and a biasing element arranged to cause the fence to maintain contact with the housing when the lock is in an unlocked configuration.
