Abstract
Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide to angle adjustment systems using one or more spring arrangements. In certain aspects, an angle adjustment system comprises a component and a first spring arrangement coupled to the component, wherein the first spring arrangement comprises at least three spring elements. Further, the first spring arrangement is configured to allow the component to rotate around a first axis of rotation and prevent a first translational movement of the component with respect to the first axis of rotation.
Claims22
A device comprising:
- a component;
- and
- a first spring arrangement coupled to the component, wherein:
- the first spring arrangement comprises at least three spring elements;
