Front Elevation when fold together Detailed elevation
Front elevation of Half stretched folding frame Scale 1:2 on A3
SCALE 1:1 ON A3
Methods of measuring: This object can be separated as two parts Mirror and folding steel holder for the Mirror. I took some photos for plan and elevation as reference for measurement. And then i found the movement of the object. Firstly, I measured Mirror which is a circle,and i found its diameter is 170mm. And then i measured the supporting steel’s length which was bit difficult. Two rulers perpendicular to each other and i got the length is 120cm. Secondly, i measured the folding holder by three different expanding form, Folding together, half stretched and full stretched. When it stretches, the length is overing the A3 paper, thus i used the scale of 1:2 to draw it. 3

Elavation of the Mirror Scale 1:1 on A3
Analysis This photo shows the elevation of the holder when it is full folding together. Pin joints are very important for the holder’s movement. If other joints use on the holder, it won’t work as good as pin joints. when it is folding like this, it has the shortest width(extension distance), but it has the highest strength. This photo shows half stretched holder. The angle between two leaves are about 90 degrees. It has much longer extension distance than full bolding together, but the strength is lower than that. I am not sure does this mirror has bolding on it or not. But pin joints allows the mirror to rotate.
This photo shows full strectched holder. The adjacent leaves are approaching 180 degrees. The stregnth of the holder is the lowest at this moment.
