Support Mechanism

A support mechanism ( 16 ) supports a first object ( 12 ) relative to a second object ( 14 ), in which the relative positioning is able to be changed in at least two dimensions, and preferably in three dimensions. The support mechanism ( 16 ) comprises a first fixing member ( 20 ) for fixing to the first object ( 12 ) and a second fixing member ( 22 ) for fixing to the second object ( 14 ). The support mechanism ( 10 also comprises a first movement mechanism ( 30,32, 34 ) which allows movement of a connection point ( 24 ) in a first direction relative to the first fixing member ( 20 and supports the connection point ( 24 ) relative to the first fixing member ( 20 ). The first direction may be fixed or it may be variable within a first plane. The first plane may be fixed or variable relative to the first fixing member. The support mechanism ( 16 ) also comprises a second movement mechanism ( 40 ) which allows movement of the second fixing member ( 22 ) in a second direction relative to the connection point ( 24 ) and supports the second fixing member ( 22 ) relative to the connection point ( 24 ). The second direction is at an angle to the first direction, preferably orthogonal. The second direction may be fixed or variable within a second plane. The second plane may be fixed or variable relative to the connection point ( 24 ).

ADJUSTABLE TEMPLATE AND A METHOD FOR OPERATING THE TEMPLATE

An adjustable template for defining outer peripheral dimensions of a door comprises first and second side elements (), each of which comprises an outer telescoping member () and an inner telescoping member (). The first and second side elements () are coupled together by upper and lower linkage mechanisms () so that the first and second side elements () are operable between an inoperable state illustrated in FIG. and an operable state illustrated in FIGS. and whereby the first and second side elements () define the width dimensions of the opening in which the door is to be located from the top of the opening to the bottom of the opening. The inner telescoping members () are urged outwardly of the outer telescoping members () so that the first and second side elements () extend from the saddle or floor of the opening of the door to the upper edge of the opening of the doorway. 135.-. (canceled)36. An adjustable template for defining an outer peripheral dimension of a closure element to be located in an opening for closing thereof , the adjustable template being adapted for locating in the opening and comprising first and second elongated side elements , at least one linkage mechanism coupling the first and second side elements with the first and second side elements being movable relative to each other between an inoperable state adjacent each other , and an operable state spaced apart from each other with the first and second side elements defining respective opposite side edges of the opening , and a locking means for releasably locking the linkage mechanism with the first and second side elements defining the respective opposite side edges of the opening.37. An adjustable template as claimed in in which the at least one linkage mechanism comprises an elongated primary link member pivotally coupled to one of the first and second side elements and slideably coupled to the other one of the first and second side elements claim 36 , the primary link member being ...
