DEFINITION

Classification: 16/326

Sliding release means or lever-actuated sliding catch:

(under subclass 324) Hinge wherein either (a) the discrete release means is constrained to translate along a surface to effect relative movement between the two cooperating elements or portions, or (b) one of the cooperating elements or portions is constrained to translate along a surface into or out of engagement with the other cooperating element or portion, and an elongated pivoted member is included to engage the sliding element or portion and provide a mechanical advantage to cause the same to translate along the surface.
