Abstract
The present invention provides an anti-kickback for arresting movement of a rail accommodated within an elongate channel. The anti-kickback device includes a slide member arranged to slide along a slide surface between an extended position and a retracted position. The device further includes a resilient member which biases the slide member along the slide surface. The slide member, when in the extended position, is designed to urge the rail into abutment with a wall of the channel to arrest movement of the rail accommodated within the channel. The device further includes a manually operable button coupled to the slide member to enable user-operated movement of the slide member towards the retracted position and a lock mechanism for holding the slide member in the retracted position.
