A cleat clamping mechanism (18) includes a base member (62, 64), a first cleat clamping component (30) movably coupled to the base member (62, 64), and a second cleat clamping component (42) coupled to the base member (62, 64) and spaced apart from the first cleat clamping component (30). The first cleat clamping component (30) moves relative to the base member (62, 64) in response to a first force applied in a first direction, and the first cleat clamping component (30) moves relative to the base member (62, 64) in response to a second force applied in a second direction that is different from the first direction. A resistance mechanism (132, 136) applies a particular resistive force to movement of the first cleat clamping component (30) when the first cleat clamping component (30) moves in response to the first force, but the resistance mechanism (132, 136) applies a different resistive force to movement of the first cleat clamping component (30) when the first cleat clamping component (30) moves in response to the second force. <IMAGE> |
