Zusammenfassung:A mechanism for moving a sensor within a volume constrained sensor compartment, which includes a cam path (25) defined within the compartment, a cam follower (32) mounted for movement throughout the cam path (25), a support assembly (34) connected to the cam follower (32) for carrying the sensor within the compartment as the cam follower (32) moves throughout the cam path (25), and a flipper cam (40) mounted for movement relative to the cam path (25) between a first position permitting the cam follower to move within a left side portion of the cam path so as to translate and rotate the sensor within a left side of the compartment and a second position permitting the cam follower (32) to move within a right side portion of the cam path so as to translate and rotate the sensor within a right side of the compartment.
