Another design for quick disconnect

This can and should be modified many many ways
Since the linear actuator moves slow, a leverage was used to speed it up. There are many many ways to improve this idea.

more later.

I think they are as actuators as small as " with a 1." throw. The scissors will be approx the 7" so I am thinking 7x7x2.5" for the complete unit. But, you could mount this on the trunk lid. Plenty of space up there, plus for show, just have the unit with a cover and chrome it.

If someone wants to brainstorm, I am 100% sure the idea can be reworked to save space, parts, and time to make. You see, on paper the idea looks do-able, but in real life, there can be many many bugs to work out.
