FOLDING MECHANISM Russian patent published in 2019 - IPC F16H21/02 

FIELD: machine building.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to the field of machine building, and more specifically to the folding mechanisms. Folding mechanism contains post, leading link, crank rod and rocker arm, forming the articulated four-link mechanism, on which neighboring links each pair a kinematic chain of two additional links and three hinges is installed.
