A device comprising:
- an elongated body;
- a movable arm coupled to the elongated body;
- a power source connector;
- a first sensor;
- a releaser;
- a first spring;
- a locking system;
- a gear;
- wherein the first sensor is capable of detecting an orientation of the device and producing an electronic signal based on the orientation, wherein the electronic signal is capable of at least partially causing a movement of the releaser, wherein the releaser is capable of nudging the movable arm away from a resting position, wherein the first spring is capable of causing the movable arm to rotate to a deployed position,
- wherein the locking system comprises a latch structure and a locking structure, wherein the latch structure is capable of keeping the locking structure in a locked position, wherein the locking structure is connected to the movable arm in a way that they rotate together,
- wherein the releaser is attached to the gear and is capable of freeing the locking structure from the locked position.
A module for attaching to a device comprising:
- a movable arm;
- a power source connector;
- a first sensor;
- a releaser;
- a first spring;
- a locking system;
- a gear;
- wherein the first sensor is capable of detecting an orientation of the module and producing an electronic signal based on the orientation, wherein the electronic signal is capable of at least partially causing a movement of the releaser, wherein the releaser is capable of nudging the movable arm away from a resting position, wherein the first spring is capable of causing the movable arm to rotate to a deployed position,
- wherein the locking system comprises a latch structure and a locking structure, wherein the latch structure is capable of keeping the locking structure in a locked position, wherein the locking structure is connected to the movable arm in a way that they rotate together,
- wherein the releaser is attached to the gear and is capable of freeing the locking structure from the locked position.
