Patent ID: 8610548

Claim:
A motion translating device for use in a tactile feedback system, comprising: a motion output device that imparts motion from a translator to a target area of a user's skin; a frame assembly, operable to translate motion from one or more actuators to the motion output device along at least a first axis and a second axis; the frame assembly having associated therewith a motion decoupling apparatus, the motion decoupling apparatus being operable to translate motion between at least one of the one or more actuators and the frame assembly along one of the axes while at least partially decoupling motion between at least one of the one or more actuators and the frame assembly along an other axis; wherein the motion decoupling apparatus comprises a slot formed in a member of the frame assembly, the slot having a larger dimension in a direction of a decoupled axis and a smaller dimension in a direction of a translated axis.
