Self-moving slide, mechanism for self-moving slide and method for self-moving a slide

摘要

A mechanism is provided that couples to a slide member of at least a two member slide forming a self-moving slide as well as to a self-moving slide incorporating such a mechanism. The mechanism has a housing having a first slot guiding an actuator and a second slot spaced apart from the first slot. The actuator is spring coupled to the housing. The actuator engages a second slide member of the slide. The spring generates a force for moving the actuator and the engaged second slide member along the first slot. The second slot allows for a portion of the housing between the two slots to flex.
