ABSTRACT:
A lock mechanism for restraining a head of a head/arm assembly is disclosed. The head/arm assembly has a rigid arm and flexible support means supporting the head and mounted to the rigid arm. The flexible support means normally biases the head to an operating position. The lock mechanism comprises a lock arm having a length, the lock arm arranged to move parallel with the length of the lock arm between a first lock arm position wherein a forward edge of the lock arm engages the flexible support means to restrain the flexible support means from biasing the head to its operating position and a second lock arm position wherein the lock arm is free of the flexible support means. Actuator means moves the lock arm parallel with the length of the lock arm between the first and second lock arm position.
