Abstract:
1. An apparatus comprising: a driving chassis configured to move in at least a first direction and configured to define a reaction surface; a movable chassis configured to move in at least a second direction orthogonal to the first direction and configured to define a follower; and a fixed chassis supporting a drive mechanism configured to drive the driving chassis in at least the first direction relative to the fixed chassis; wherein the reaction surface and follower interact to convert movement of the driving chassis and reaction surface in the first direction to movement of the follower and movable chassis in the second direction, and wherein the driving chassis comprises at least a third restraining element that interacts with a fourth restraining element of the movable chassis to restrain relative movement between the movable chassis and the fixed chassis to substantially the second direction, and wherein the follower forms a part of the fourth restraining element.
