日常生活中有許多物品與連動桿密切相關, 特別是可摺疊的物品. 在前面四節中, 我們將詳地細展示如何用Cabri 3D來構築可模擬真實物件的連動桿. 在末兩節中, 我們將分別介紹Klann linkage與Theo Jansen’s mechanism兩特殊連動桿, 分別能模擬蜘蛛與馬匹的行走姿態.

In our daily life, many common items are simply linkages or application of linkage, especially the folding objects like folding umbrellas or folding chairs. In first four sections, we would state in detail how to use Cabri 3D to simulate real umbrella, folding umbrella, and folding chair by simple linkages. In the last three sections, we would construct Theo Jansen’s mechanism and Klann’s linkage which are linkages simulating the gait of legged animal.
