Figure 1

Side view of typical porch swing bearing assemblies for realizing the linear movement of the mirror. The drawing (a) shows flat springs as the flexure elements and the drawing (b) stiffener clamps in the springs. In the drawing (c), the flexure pivots are used. The driving force is exerted to the upper arm.
