A.R.C. Progress: The New Hanger (Patreon)

Here is my hanger redesign!  I didn't like the look of the old hanger, it looked way too bulky with the round tube structure and the piston-like extenders, nor did I like the system for moving the struts in-out with that chain driven sprocket and screw system.  It was altogether over-designed, so I did away with all of that and went with a simpler system with flat, perforated arms that have just a little bit of taper.  Now the whole thing looks a LOT lighter.  It also looks a lot better, going with the industrial theme of the external spaces in the A.R.C.

As for adjusting the arms, each joint has a captive locking pin on one side and a series of holes on the other side, similar to the way some exercise equipment works.  The way, you pull the pin out to unlock it, move the limb and release the pin so it falls through one of the holes and locks the joint in place.  The hanger no longer has any ability to adjust itself, instead the pins are shaped so the robot claws can easily grasp them.  The robot arms will need to do all the adjusting before sending the hanger to its designated inmate.

I also made the central leg-securing strut foldable so the hanger can be used without anything near the inmate's legs, should leg restraint be unnecessary.

The pivot point is at the tip of the triangle shown above.  The whole hanger will be able to rock back and forth, and the limbs of the hanger can be adjusted to change the center of gravity such that the inmate is leaning slightly backwards with their legs slightly in front of them, for a more comfortable almost-sitting position without the crushing pressure on your clavicles that comes with being suspended feet-back.
