Abstract:
Disclosed is the shape of a curvature of two or more pathways for a device having moving parts that cause movement of an object along those pathways, such that the device can locate or hold the object. In the embodiment, an apparatus is described that centers and optionally locks an object at a desired location. The applications for such a device are varied and can range from chucking a workpiece of varying diameters in a lathe, to centering a drone on a landing zone, to medical and scientific devices to capture and center objects to study, to moving atomic level objects using an electromagnetic field. The scope of this disclosure is the mathematics that defines the mirrored curvatures of each curved pathway and the positioning of the curvatures relative to each other, and the relative movement of the mirrored curvatures to cause the desired effect.

Claim (Index 1):
A positioner apparatus comprising:\n a first Pathway Spiral Segment (PW); a second Mirrored Pathway Spiral Segment (MPW) that Intersects with the said PW; a Locating-Pin that is positioned at the said Intersect and is used to Push/Pull with a Push/Pull-Force directed along the said PW, a Rotation-Bushing to allow Relative-Rotation between the said PW and said MPW to move the said Locating-Pin either inward or outward depending on the relative direction of the rotation, and wherein the said PW, said MPW, said Locating-Pin, and said Rotation-Bushing can work together to create a Push/Pull-Force along the PW that thereby obtains the Desired Effect.
