Abstract
A movable rack assembly may include an input shaft, a driven gear, an adjustable rack, an interference plate, and a contact tab. The input shaft may extend along an input axis. The input shaft may include a worm gear segment disposed along the input axis between a first end and a second end. The driven gear may be enmeshed with the worm gear segment, define a maximum outer circumference, and be rotatable about a driven axis nonparallel to the input axis. The interference plate may be fixed to the driven gear. The interference plate may include a radial arm extending past the maximum outer circumference of the driven gear. The contact tab may extend from the input shaft and be axially offset from the worm gear segment in selective engagement with the radial arm at a predefined travel limit of the driven gear to halt rotation at the input shaft.
