Abstract
The present disclosure provides a mechanical linkage device including a ground link comprising an inverse center linked to one end of the ground link. The mechanical linkage device further includes a movement link connecting the ground link to a control point. The mechanical linkage device further includes two or more linkages having a first link of the two or more linkages including a first end linked to the control point and a second link of the two or more linkages including second end linked to an end point. The end point, the control point, and the inverse center of the ground link remain co-linear. The control point and the end point have an inverse relationship such that movement of the control point is inversely translated to the end point. The ground link, the movement link, and at least one of the two or more linkages do not all he in a plane throughout an entire range of motion of the mechanical linkage device.
