Abstract
Fenestration units that include slide mechanisms that operate the unit through linear motion. Slide mechanism designs include a handle, a slide member coupled to the handle, and a linear rail along which the slide member is slidably received such that the slide member is operable to slide in a linear motion. The slide member includes an attachment structure for operatively coupling with a drive belt to transfer linear motion through a transfer mechanism to a drive mechanism of the unit. The attachment structure is attached to the drive belt such that a position of the attachment mechanism along the length of the drive belt may be adjusted by a user.
