Abstract
Implementations of the of the present stripping corner may include a first forward surface, a second forward surface, hingedly connected to the first forward surface, a first rearward surface, hingedly connected to the first forward surface, a second rearward surface hingedly connected to the second forward surface, and an extender coupling the first rearward surface to the second rearward surface. The extender may be configured to receive an input torque about a first axis and may be configured to provide an output force along a second axis. The first axis may be substantially perpendicular to the second axis.
Claims11
A torquing mechanism comprising:
- a single torque input unit rotatable along a first axis;
- and
- a plurality of torque output units that simultaneously actuate in response to actuation of the single torque input unit, the plurality of torque output units being rotatable about a plurality of second axes,
- wherein an amount of actuation and an angular displacement relative to a starting position of each of the plurality of torque output units is substantially equal,
- wherein the first axis is transverse to the plurality of second axes,
- wherein the plurality of torque output units rotate in the same direction about the plurality of second axes.
