Patent ID: 6929374

Claim:
A movement mechanism, comprising a substantially spherical holder ( 1 ) and a substantially bowl-shaped ring ( 2 ), which, when inserted into each other, are rotatable relative to each other about at least one first axis (A), which lies in a plane which is substantially parallel with the top face of the holder ( 1 ), while driving means are provided for enabling movement of the holder ( 1 ) relative to the ring ( 2 ), which driving means comprise a non-straight driving rod ( 3 ) bearing-mounted in the holder ( 1 ), as well as means ( 6 , 9 ) for activating the driving rod ( 3 ), characterized in that the driving rod ( 3 ) has the shape of a ring segment and is connected with a driving part ( 4 ), which is rotatably mounted in a recess ( 5 ) in the ring ( 2 ) relative to a second axis (B), which second axis (B) lies in a plane equal or parallel to the top face of the ring ( 2 ), and which second axis (B) lies at an angle of approximately 90° to the first axis (A), wherein the ring segment is rotatable about a third axis (C) which lies in a plane equal or parallel to the top face of the holder ( 1 ) and which lies at an angle of approximately 45° to the first axis (A).
