attitude mechanism

assiette = attitude
The orientation of an aicraft's axes in relation to some plane, esp. the horizontal the attitude of an aircraft... is defined by the angles made by its axes with the relative airflow, or with the ground, respectively.
Note :
This term has been lifted straight from aeronautics and applies to the body of a car relative to the ground in the same way as with an aircraft; if using the term "attitude", beware the misleadingly similar term "attitude angle", which refers to an angle in yaw and not in pitch.

platform mechanism

This term gets a lot of hits on google.
Example sentence:

In this chapter, the modeling of the parallel platform mechanism is explained in detail. The parallel platform model consists of six identical legs which may be modeled in different ways. Several models including the state-space formulations are given,

starting with the basic connector model, to which first a coupling stage, then a decoupling stage and lastly semi-active MR dampers are incorporated.

Base / Support Mechanism

In my technical background I supposed to be Base/Support Mechanism is appropriate as simply understand by readers why should we describe the word more complicatedly as I also used the same term in my technical projects
