Abstract:
A mechanism for causing axial movement of a device, such as a pin, by rotating a knob in a rotational direction. The knob includes cam surfaces that, when rotated, axially adjust the device by bending an elastic frame so a portion of the frame moves toward the desired axial direction. The frame can be disposed in a substantially flush or otherwise compact manner to improve the aesthetic appearance of the mechanism and allow for a more compact and cost-effective knob.
