Abstract
This device provides tailored motion of one object relative to a second object. The device consists of mechanical linkages which change length as a function of pivot angle. The linkages consist of simple pivot arms and pivot points. The pivot arm lengths and pivot point positions are selected to provide a chosen path of relative motion for the objects connected by the device.
