    摘要: A support structure includes a fixed frame portion configured to provide a fixed connection point for the support structure. The support structure also includes a suspended frame portion configured to support the interactive device and configured to oscillate in a direction of motion relative to the fixed frame portion due to a force applied to at least one of the fixed frame portion or the suspended frame portion by an actuator configured to provide a haptic effect to the interactive device. Further, the support structure includes one or more support members coupled between the fixed frame portion and the suspended frame portion. The direction of motion is defined by the one or more support members. The one or more support members provide a restoring force that causes the suspended frame portion to undergo harmonic oscillation in the direction of motion in response to the force applied by the actuator.
