Content
As used herein, an “arm” refers to an elongated structure that extends from another structure such as a base or a body. In certain embodiments, an arm can be configured to support a load (including a tension, compression, shear, torsion, and/or bending load). In certain embodiments, an arm may comprise a generally planar structure. An arm can be a separate structure connected to, or integrated with, another structure. Based on how the arm connects to or extends from another structure, such as a base or body, the arm can resemble an arm of a human or animal in that the arm can be an appendage to another structure. An arm can be two-dimensional or three-dimensional and can have a variety of geometric shapes and/or cross-sectional shapes, including, but not limited to a rectangle, a square, or other polygon, as well as a circle, an ellipse, an ovoid, or other circular or semi-circular shape. An arm can be made from a variety of materials including, metal, plastic, ceramic, wood, fiberglass, or the like. One arm may be distinguished from another based on where the arm is positioned within a structure, component, or apparatus.
