Stow
Stow refers to various manual motions associated with revealing or concealing interior components in order to save space or to provide for multiple functions. These motions include fall, fold, push-pull, swing, glide, or a combination of these. The motions require specialized hardware to achieve their open or closed functions, and a spatial cavity is required to conceal a component.
