Abstract

A support structure for installation of a component assembly housed in a rotating, translating carriage chassis, the support structure including: a stationary rail that includes a shaft extruding perpendicular to the stationary rail; a rotating rail adapted to receive a carriage chassis rail, the rotating rail parallel to the stationary rail when the rotating rail is in a non-rotated position, the rotating rail including a shaft receptacle that receives the shaft, the rotating rail configured to rotate about the shaft and relative to the stationary rail; and a translation mechanism attached to the rotating rail, the translation mechanism enabling the carriage chassis rail to translate parallel to and along the rotating rail.
