Patent attributes
A gimbal mechanism includes a first actuator providing rotation about a first actuator axis, a second actuator providing rotation about a second actuator axis different from the first actuator axis, a first coupler operatively coupling the first actuator and the payload and configured to affect rotation of the payload about the first actuator axis, and a second coupler operatively coupling the second actuator and the payload and configured to affect rotation of the payload about the second actuator axis. The first coupler includes a first cantilever member coupled to the first actuator and a first joint member coupled to the payload. The second coupler includes a second cantilever member coupled to the second actuator and a second joint member coupled to the payload. Both the first coupler and the second coupler are directly coupled to the payload.
