Linkage Slide-Out Mechanism for a Vehicle

摘要

Side-mounted linkage slide-out mechanisms move a slide-out section of a vehicle linearly from a retracted position within an interior of the vehicle to an extended position outward of the vehicle interior. Pivotal scissor linkage assemblies are driven by a linear actuator to pivot about one or more moving pivots mounted to the slide-out section and one or more stationary pivots mounted to the vehicle, and thereby translate the slide-out section. The linkage and drive components have features that limit travel and lock out movement of the slide-out section upon reaching the fully retracted and extended positions.
