Abstract
According to examples, an apparatus may include a base to be attached to a chassis of a printing device. The apparatus may also include a first link rotatably mounted to the base at a first section of the first link and a second link rotatably mounted to the first link at a second section of the first link, in which the second link may be movably mounted to a movable lid assembly of the printing device at a first section of the second link. The apparatus may further include a control panel mount attached to the second link at the second section of the second link.
Claims15
An apparatus comprising:
- a base to be attached to a chassis of a printing device;
- a first link rotatably mounted to the base at a first section of the first link;
- a second link rotatably mounted to the first link at a second section of the first link, wherein the second link is to be movably mounted to a movable lid assembly of the printing device at a first section of the second link;
- and
- a control panel mount attached to the second link at the second section of the second link.
A printing device comprising:
- a chassis;
- a lid assembly rotatable between an open position and a closed position with respect to the chassis;
- and
- a lift apparatus to support the lid assembly in the open position, the lift apparatus comprising:
- a base attached to the chassis;
- a first link rotatably mounted to the base;
- a second link rotatably mounted to the first link and movably connected to the lid assembly;
- and
- a control panel mount attached to the second link, wherein the first link and the second link are to move between various positions during movement of the lid assembly between the open and closed positions.
A movable control panel system comprising:
- a first link rotatably attached to a chassis of a printing device at a proximal end of the first link;
- a second link that is:
- rotatably attached to the first link at a distal end of the first link;
- and
- movably mounted to a lid assembly of the printing device;
- and
- a control panel mount attached to the second link, wherein the control panel mount is to maintain a substantially constant angle during movement of the lid assembly with respect to the chassis.
