Abstract

See full text

A quick-release mechanism that allows a motor to be quickly and easily released from a motorized activation assembly to activate a sliding mechanism thereby extending or retracting a slide-out compartment of a recreational vehicle. The quick-release mechanism includes a coupler adapted to slidingly engage a motor drive shaft and selectively engage a gear drive shaft. A spring urges the coupler into engagement with the gear drive shaft. A cam member supports the biased coupler and permits the coupler to be cammed against the spring bias force such that the coupler slides along the motor drive shaft and, thus, out of engagement with the gear drive shaft.
