constrain part by if other parts hit it

I have built a three bar liftbar mechanism that basically lifts a large extrusion of plasticoff a table so it is able to be glued and then placed back into the table to be clamped. My question is if you canconstrain the piece of plastic to only move when the liftbar comesinto contact with it. Right now I only know how toridgidly constrain the bottom face of the plastic piece to be a certain distance away from the top face of thelift bar at all times. Constraining the plastic in this way doesnt exactly show how the mechanism works in real life. Hopefully there is something in pro e that allows me to get around this problem. I am thankful for any comments in advance.
