Abstract:
A green simulation apparatus having a configurable upper surface with a changeable contour may comprise a covering forming the upper surface and a plurality of vertically movable positioning elements forming an array on which the covering rests. Each positioning element has a head, a bottom element, and a support frame positioned between the head and bottom element. The support frame includes at least a first frame member and a second frame member each having opposite ends and being pivotally connected together at a cross-over point spaced from opposite ends of the frame members in a scissor-like configuration such that convergence of the frame members raises the head and divergence of the frame members lowers the head.

Claim (Index 11):
The apparatus of  claim 2 , wherein the support frame includes a support nut connected to the lower end of the first frame member and an actuating rod engaging a support nut such that rotation of the actuating rod moves the support nut so that the lower end of the first frame member moves toward and away from the lower end of the second frame member and rotation of the actuating rod in a first rotational direction moves the frame members toward convergence and rotation of the actuating rod in a second and opposite rotational direction moves the frame members toward divergence to raise and lower a vertical level of a top surface of the head.
