Abstract:
A mechanism vehicle converts rotary motion to reciprocal linear or arcuate motion of variable amplitude consisting of a tubular housing having a rotary member therein with longitudinal slots for accomodating a slide piece. A block carrying an offset pivot bearing is mounted in said housing in spaced relation to said rotary member and a crank arm is positioned between said pivot and a lug which is in offset hinged relation to a slide positioned in said slots so that rotation of said crank arm generates a cone. A carrier bearing and assembly translates the rotation of said crank arm into reciprocal linear movement of a pair of slide blocks positioned in slots in said housing. A threaded adjustment member determines the spacing between said rotary member and said block carrying the pivot bearing so as to vary the stroke of the slide blocks in relation to the position of the carrier bearing on the cone generated by rotation of said crank arm.
Abstract:
A mechanical counter capable of showing values changing continuously and at a high rate of speed, which comprises a series of numbered drums containing e.g. six groups of 10 figures moving angularly in front of a reading window. Each drum after the first has a toothed internal gear, and each drum preceding the last has a pair of circular cams for causing periodic movement of the subsequent drum and then locking it between movement periods. This transfer movement is effected by one of a series of gear means, mounted such that each gear means consists of a first gear continuously engaged with the toothed rim of a given drum, and second and third gears each having a pitch twice that of said first gear and having their teeth alternately aligned with teeth of said first gear, so that the second and third gears are alternately moved and locked by said pair of cams. Each cam has e.g. three arcuate projections, each projection of one cam being opposite an empty space of the other cam.
Abstract:
IN AN ECCENTRIC MECHANISM FOR CONVERTING THE INPUT ROTARY MOVEMENT OF A ROTARY MEMBER INTO AN OUTPUT RECIPROCATING LINEAR MOVEMENT, IN ORDER TO VARY ASYMMETRICALLY THE AMPLITUDE OF THE OUTPUT MOVEMENT, A SLOTTED CUP-LIKE ROTARY MEMBER DRIVES A CYLINDRICAL CRANK-PIN THROUGH AN ECCENTRIC LUG AND OFFSET SOCKET SO THAT ITS AXIS DESCRIBES AN ECCENTRICITY-SETTING CONE HAVING ITS CONTOUR DELIMITED BY A HIGH POSITION AND A LOW POSITION, AND HAVING A GENERATRIX PARALLEL TO THE AXIS OF ROTATION OF THE ROTARY MEMBER.
Abstract:
To permit easy dismantling and replacement, a distributor pump comprises a piston syringe, a distribution valve having a rotary frontal valve element, and a driving member for said element, all arranged in series along a common axis coinciding with the axis of movement of the piston and constituting the axis of rotation of the valve element.
