Is this as easy as it looks. Additional pivot points for any bar arms along A,B are allowed and likewise in area C. Force applied at A,A1 only.

Height of C is 1/3 of A,B. The linkage must be contained in area C when in the A,B position.

'It's always easy if you can see the answer"!

If for one use only:

A spring and retaining link of the correct length?

Or mount it horizontally above a table and let gravity do it..
