Claim Text:
1. A support mechanism comprising: a first fixing member for fixing to a first object; a second fixing member for fixing a second object; a first movement mechanism configured to support a pair of connection joints and further configured to only allow movement of the plurality of connection joints within a first plane extending from the first fixing member, where the distance between the joints is variable; and a second movement mechanism configured to support the second fixing member and further configured to allow straight line movement of the second fixing member in a direction that is transverse to the first plane, wherein the second movement mechanism is connected to and supported from the pair of connection points, and the second movement mechanism comprises two elongate members rotationally connected to the second fixing member such that the elongate members are constrained so that a change in angle of one of the elongate members relative to the second fixing member is matched by a change in angle of the other of the elongate members relative to the second fixing member, but in the opposite rotational direction.
