Explanation of the part (Images below ↓)
- How does this component work/for what was it introduced? It allows a 5° angle to be packed onto a surface – e.g. for a chair like WORMS.
- But what does that mean? For a chair, it means that the front leg is extended, depending on how long the seat is. Since we know the length of side C (the distance between the holes on the seat, see illustration above) and two angles, we can use simple angle maths to calculate the length of side b and thus the extension of the front leg of a chair. Here is an online calculator for this.
