Abstract
The present disclosure generally relates to movable coupling mechanisms, and more particularly, to push-push devices for adjustably coupling a first object to a second object. In some embodiments, the push-push device includes a shuttle block configured to be coupled to the first object, a track block configured to be coupled to the second object, and an arm rotatably coupled to the shuttle block at a distal end of the arm and slidably coupled to the track back at a proximal end of the arm. The push-push device may also include one or more first springs configured to apply a torsional preload force to the arm, and one or more second springs configured to apply a linear preload force between the shuttle block and the track block.
