Don't feel bad...I'm looking at it and it's difficult to ascertain its function, but it appears that spring #70, in cavities #72 and #74, allow a shift in pitch of the entire assembly downward to deadstop #42. Not sure if it can be made to float...but I doubt it. I'll have to go back and read the patent again for more detail.
