Claim 14:
15. A device for disposing a plate in two states, the plate composed of a plurality of plate components, said device comprising:
(a) a first gear comprising a rotational axis, said first gear configured to be attached to a member;
(b) a ring having a central axis coaxially disposed with said rotational axis of said first gear; and
(c) a plurality of planetary gears evenly distributed about said central axis of said ring, each said planetary gear comprising a rotational axis and rotationally coupled to said ring and said first gear, wherein said rotational axis of each said planetary gear is disposed parallel to said central axis of said ring,
wherein each of the plate components is configured to be attached to one of said plurality of planetary gears and the plate components are mustered in a first state and when said ring is rotated with respect to the member, the plurality of plate components separate to transition to a second state and the plate is configured to be disposed in one of two closed states and an angle of rotation between said two closed states is about 300 degrees.
