The support arm is connected to the drive mechanism and movable relative to the housing in first and second opposite directions. The assembly includes a hub, a motion portion, and a hanging portion. The motion portion has a resilient component coupled to the hanging portion, which drives the hanging portion in a third direction when the support arm moves in the first direction.
