Floating Pivot

How to assemble a mechanism with an input:

  1. Connect the pegboard strip (the input) to the red trapezoidal block (left picture). This fastener becomes a floating pivot.
  2. Connect the red trapezoidal block to the base with a fixed pivot so that the legs of the floating pivot are up and won’t catch in the holes of the pegboard base (right picture).
