cross(Brace Yourself)

Now that I have come up with a mechanism that works in theory, I have 5 arms rotating on pivots as the cogs on the them move with the central column that move up and surround the person, I need to make the pod much more enclosed

If you look at my previous sketches, models and SketchUp images the person can easily squeeze between two vertical arms, thus making the trap flawed. So I have come up with the idea of having cross braces between each of the 5 arms, creating a cage-like pod that will totalled Cocoon the victim -

So as you can see each cross brace is attached at one side, but when the arms move in on the victim the other end of the brace should meet perfectly with the other arm giving a seamless pod with consecutive circles

As my ideas and designs develop as to should my model -

I am very happy with this simple effective solution to my trapping pod
