POSITIONING UNIT Russian patent published in 2017 - IPC F16M11/00 F16M11/02 

FIELD: machine engineering.

SUBSTANCE: positioning unit consists of the base (1), the positioner (2) and the attachment points (3). The positioning unit is configured to change the position of the article fixed to it in a horizontal plane along two mutually perpendicular axes, in a vertical plane, in azimuth and in a slope angle. The positioner consists of a disk (4), an upper carriage (5), a lower carriage (8), stop screws (6), a bracket (7), a board (12). The design of the bottom carriage is similar to the construction of the upper carriage. The upper carriage is fixed on the lower carriage in such a way that the intersection of their rotation axes in the horizontal plane in the top view forms a right angle with the vertex passing through the vertical coordinate axis of rotation of the disk. The disk has grooves, evenly spaced around the circumference, the center of which coincides with the center of rotation of the disk. Each groove of the disk is equidistant with respect to the groove adjacent to it by an angle formed between their geometric centers with the vertex of the angle at the center of the disk. The fastening unit consists of a stud and coaxially arranged nuts on it, spherical and conical washers.

EFFECT: simplification of design and manufacturability due to collapsible construction.
