Constraints with respect to multiple parts in assembly

Hello,

I'm trying to make a screw connected to a conical part move another part up and down alongside a rail.

I have attached an image of what I'm trying to model: https://gyazo.com/c425430d21c656a5c864b472035e9a9b

The cone moves right and left, while the part that's driven by the cone should move up and down.

Is there a way of setting constraints such that the lower part of the V shaped cut is always tangent to the lower part of the cone, while letting the cone drive the green part? Or model the behavior or the part such that it 'seems' to be always tangent to the cone?

Thank you for the help,
David
