A push button slide mechanism, includes an outer member having a bottom wall and an upstanding side wall. The outer member defines at least one pair of holes through the upstanding side wall. The mechanism includes an inner member having a top plate and a bottom plate defining a single annular channel therebetween. The single annular channel receives an elongated member in all rotational positions of the inner member relative to the outer member. A spring member spring-biases the outer member relative to the inner member. Pressing the inner member toward the outer member against the spring forces of the spring causes the single annular channel to align with the holes through the upstanding side wall of the outer member.
