Claim 13:
14. A pop-up articulating prop module comprising
a base;
an articulating prop mount;
an automation system;
the base being adapted and configured to be supported on a flat surface, the pop-up articulating prop module being adapted and configured to be supported by the base on the flat surface;
the articulating prop mount comprising a body member and a prop mount linkage, the body member being movably connected to the base for rectilinear movement from a home position to a displaced position in a pop-up direction and from the displaced position to the home position in an a return direction opposite to the pop-up direction, the prop mount linkage comprising links that are movably connected to the body member, the links including an input link and an output link, the input link being operatively connected to the output link so that an input movement of the input link relative to the body member drives an output movement of the output link relative to the body member, the input link being further operatively connected to the base so that, when the body member is displaced in the pop-up direction from the home position to the displaced position, the base engages the input link so as to drive said input movement of the input link relative to the body member;
the automation system being operatively connected between the base and the body member, the automation system being operable to move the body member suddenly in a rectilinear pop-up direction from a home position of the body member to a displaced position of the body member and to move the body member more gradually in a rectilinear return direction from its displaced position to its home position, the return direction being opposite to the pop-up direction.
