Mechanical handwriting paper control apparatus and method of use thereof

Abstract

The invention comprises a method and apparatus for controlling a marking surface, comprising: a backplate positioned to support the marking surface and a lever arm, the lever arm and the backplate forming a continuous single object, wherein bending the lever arm yields a force transferred through the backplate toward the marking surface, where, optionally and preferably the backplate is at least twice as thick as the lever arm, the lever arm has a flexural modulus in a range of one to ten GPa, and the backplate and lever arm form an angle between thirty and sixty degrees with no applied force. Optionally, the backplate supports a paper of a plotter system.
