Patent abstract
The invention relates to a detent mechanism for controlling translation between two components in a longitudinal direction (P, D), the detent mechanism comprising at least one clip on one of the components arranged to be in a ramped engagement with a recess in the other one of the components in an initial state in such a manner that translation between the components is constrained and that application of a translative force between the components in one longitudinal direction (P, D) with the clip engaged with the recess deflects the clip out of the recess when a predetermined value of the translative force, at least depending on the resilience of the clip, is overcome so as to allow translation between the components.
