Claim 13:
14. A method for controlling movement of a payload, the method comprising:
applying a restoring force to a pivot, wherein the pivot is formed by a plurality of linkages;
engaging the pivot and an actuation device based at least in part on the applying of the restoring force to the pivot;
applying a transition force to the pivot;
transitioning a stopper, via the plurality of linkages, from a first position to a second position based at least in part on the applying of the transition force to the pivot, wherein the stopper, in the first position, allows movement of the payload in a first direction, wherein the stopper, in the second position, impedes the movement of the payload in the first direction; and
transitioning the stopper, via the plurality of linkages, from the second position to the first position based at least in part on an application of an overload force in a second direction to the stopper.
