Abstract
A ratcheting mechanism composed of a housing that encloses a plurality of pins acting as pawls, engaging with a rack having teeth, wherein each of the pins acts independently, allowing for fine adjustments of the rack. An actuator enables seamless engagement and disengagement of the pins in relation to the rack. A sensor may be used to determine the location of at least one pin within the housing as it is related to the rack.
