Abstract:
1. A device comprising a flexure assembly and reflective component suspension assembly connected to the flexure assembly, the flexure assembly comprising: a pair of spaced apart upper flexure components which enable the suspension assembly to controllably pivot with respect to a stationary mechanical center of rotation axis; each of the upper flexure components having a lower base segment, an upper segment, and at least one flexure segment diagonally connecting the lower base segment of the upper flexure component to the upper segment of the upper flexure component; and a pair of spaced apart lower flexure components which enable the suspension assembly to controllably pivot with respect to an axis orthogonal to the mechanical center rotation axis; one of the lower flexure components being mounted underneath one of the upper flexure components, the other of the lower flexure components being mounted underneath the other of the upper flexure components; each of the lower flexure components having a lower base segment, an upper segment, and at least one flexure segment extending diagonally and outwardly with respect to the orthogonal axis, and connecting the lower base segment of the lower flexure component to the upper segment of the lower flexure component.
