Hello, 

i want to show you a small idea for a scissor mechanism.

very nice.. although you might want to offset the main drive axle, so it actually lifts up, on the 'up' stroke, rather than the side - as I'm guessing there's a fair amount of friction.

 

I've been working on a large, robust scissor mechanism, for a GBC, but it's surprisingly difficult, once you add some actual weight/load to the top
