Mechanical Prototyping Set?

Thats a similar movement to one I was considering for pop up joystics in a drawer, only vertical instead of horizontal. Looked at a couple of possibilities that might be of use.

First was the mechanism that is used for cantelever toolboxes, like each drawer in this example:


Another thought was to use an arrangement of 'linear cams' as in this site:
You could have a cam follower for the top and bottom corner of your pop out screen and control the movement of each independantly.

Dunno if that helps...


drventure:

That's along the lines I was thinking. Some kind of dual lever arrangement that's triggered by the top nearing it's fully raised position.

I'm going to check out some of these drafting apps and see what I can some up with.
