Abstract
Described are various embodiments of a five-bar folding mechanism and method with quick release functionality. In one embodiment, the mechanism is used with a five-bar linkage comprising a first arm and a second arm rotatively coupled to a same joint, the first arm and second arm defining an angle therebetween. The mechanism comprises an energy storage element coupled to the first arm and configured to be engaged by the second arm upon the angle being smaller than a designated angle, and to store mechanical energy upon said first arm and said second arm being brought further into co-alignment. The energy storage element is further configured to release the stored mechanical energy upon the five-bar linkage being unfolded, pushing the first arm and second arm apart.
