Abstract
An orthogonal coupling mechanism includes a threaded rod, a pair of travelers engaging the threaded rod, and an actuator. The actuator is disposed on the threaded rod, such that the actuator translates a first axial force along the axis of the threaded rod into a rotational movement of the threaded rod about its axis. The rotational movement created by the actuator causes the pair of travelers to travel along the axis of the threaded rod, moving a sliding board into engagement with a first connector in a direction orthogonal to a direction of the first axial force.
