Abstract
A locking mechanism to prevent back-drive includes a locking shaft with guide grooves. Locking shaft guides engage the guide grooves to constrain lateral motion of the locking shaft. A nut includes corresponding grooves to the locking shaft, and engages the locking shaft to prevent linear translation. The locking mechanism may be incorporated into a aircraft seat armrest to create a positive lock in the armrest position.
