To challenge myself, I decided to create something complex instead of simple. Inspired by the Reuleaux triangle's constant width, I sought to implement it in my project. A tiny gif (http://imgur.com/gallery/U45Op) piqued my interest. The main obstacle was locating suitable gears; after that, everything ran smoothly. A hidden spring returns the locker mechanism, while a damper ensures the locker arm moves at a leisurely pace in the animation.
