Abstract
A linkage mechanism includes a pivot assembly, a gear assembly, and a linkage assembly. The pivot assembly pivots around a first rotation axis. The gear assembly is pivoted with the pivot assembly and moves in conjunction with the pivot assembly. The gear assembly includes a cam, and the cam pivots around a second rotation axis. The second rotation axis is not parallel to the first rotation axis. The linkage assembly is disposed at a side of the gear assembly and contacts the cam. When the pivot assembly drives the gear assembly to pivot, the linkage assembly abuts against the cam to produce a relative movement with the cam.

A linkage mechanism, comprising:
- a pivot assembly pivoting around a first rotation axis;
- a gear assembly pivoted with the pivot assembly and moving in conjunction with the pivot assembly, the gear assembly comprising a cam pivoting around a second rotation axis, wherein the second rotation axis is not parallel to the first rotation axis;
- and
- a linkage assembly disposed at a side of the gear assembly and contacting the cam, wherein when the pivot assembly drives the gear assembly to pivot, the linkage assembly abuts against the cam to produce a relative movement with the cam.
