ABSTRACT:
The rear end of the slide panel is lifted by a link member having a rear end with a pivotally attached to the slide panel, and a front end which is guided for horizontal movement. By receiving a pin laterally extending from an intermediate part of the link member in two specially shaped cam slots which are provided in a fixed cam slot member and a moveable cam member, respectively, it is possible to simplify the lifting mechanism while minimizing the play of the slide panel during its sliding movement. This arrangement at the same time reduces the number of required component parts, and allows the mechanism to be simplified.
