Zusammenfassung:	A release mechanism for a delivery apparatus and associated methods for operating the release mechanism are disclosed. As one example, a handle portion of the delivery apparatus can include a release mechanism configured to adjust a linear position of a component of the delivery apparatus. The release mechanism can include a threaded drive screw including one or more retaining elements arranged at a proximal end of the drive screw and one or more grooves forming a helical threaded portion of the drive screw that each extend from a corresponding retaining element to a distal end of the drive screw, the drive screw coupled to the component; and a rotatable knob surrounding and coaxial with the drive screw, the knob including one or more teeth arranged at a proximal end of the knob, each tooth configured to interface with a corresponding retaining element and groove of the drive screw.
