Abstract

The mechanism comprises first and second slugs, comprising a first contact shoe engaging with a first locking bearing surface, and a second contact shoe engaging with a second, parallel locking bearing surface. The first contact shoes of the first and second slugs extend circumferentially about the tilt axis and each has first and second complementary radial guide surfaces parallel to the tilt axis to guide the movement of the first slug between its locking and release positions.
