MECHANISM FOR ROTATIONALLY MOVING A MIRROR

摘要

A device (10) for rotationally moving a mirror includes a mirror mount (20) connected to a pivot lever (22). A motor (12) having a lead-screw (14) moves the lead-screw in a linear manner along an axis (26). An elongated angled member (18) is connected to the lead-screw (14) and abuts the pivot lever (22). The elongated angled member (18) is set at a non-parallel angle with respect to the lead-screw (14) so that as the lead-screw (14) is moved along its axis (26) the elongated angled member (18) causes the pivot lever (22) t o pivot, and in turn, causes the mirror (20) to rotate.
