Abstract
Cam mechanism with a flat or planar locking member and a cam member also having a flat or planar shape. The cam mechanism is operable as a pop-up mechanism. The cam member moves substantially in a first plane and the lock member is urged or driven substantially in the first plane by the cam member when the cam member moves from a first to a second position corresponding to extended and retracted positions, respectively, of a pop-up device. When the cam member reaches a predetermined position, the movement of the cam member is restricted by the locking member and the restriction of the movement of the cam member is released by moving the locking member in a direction perpendicular to the first plane. A spring energizes the lock in a member towards a direction in which the movement of the cam member is restricted.
