Apparatus for converting motion and building assembly comprising the same

An assembly for converting motion, the assembly comprising:

• a first arm rotatable at a first position thereon about a first fixed pivot;
• a second arm rotatable at a first position thereon about a second fixed pivot, the second fixed pivot spaced apart from the first fixed pivot;
• a third arm pivotably connected at a first position thereon to the second arm at a second position on the second arm, the second position spaced apart from the first position on the second arm;
• a fourth arm pivotably connected at a first position thereon to the second arm at a third position on the second arm;
• a fifth arm;
• a first connecting arm extending between the first arm and the third arm, the first connecting arm pivotably connected to a second position on the first arm spaced apart from the first position and pivotably connected to the third arm at a second position thereon spaced apart from the first position thereon;
• a second connecting arm extending between the first arm and the second arm, the second connecting atm pivotably connected to a third position on the first arm disposed between the first and second positions thereon and pivotably connected to a fourth position on the second arm at a third position thereon;
• a third connecting arm extending between the first arm and the fourth arm and between the fourth arm and the fifth arm, the third connecting arm pivotably connected to a fourth position on the first arm, pivotably connected to a third position on the fourth arm, and pivotably connected to a first position on the fifth arm;
• and
• a fourth connecting arm pivotably connected at a first position thereon to the fourth arm at a second position on the fourth arm and pivotably connected at a second position thereon to the fifth arm at a second position on the fifth arm;
• the fifth arm pivotably connected at a second position thereon to the third connecting arm;
• the fifth arm being mounted to an object to be moved.
