Projector tilt adjust system comprising a latching mechanism for a height-adjusting system

摘要

A latching mechanism includes an aperture surface through which a threaded rod may pass. Half of the surface of the aperture is smooth and fixed in place relative to a housing. The other half is threaded and formed from an internal module that is slidable within the housing. The internal module is biased by a spring towards the fixed portion of the aperture surface. Flaring tabs on either side of the internal module support the internal module within the housing to ensure that a minimum of contact is established between the housing and the internal module so as to present a smooth latching/unlatching action.
