SUPPORTING DEVICE Russian patent published in 1994 - IPC

FIELD: mechanical engineering. SUBSTANCE: cantilever is hinged to a frame and is capable to rotate around vertical axis. One end of each pair of links is hinged to cantilever, and the other end - to a saddle-shaped member. Axes of these hinges are parallel to axis of hinge, that connects the links to each other. Planes, that are perpendicular to axes of hinges of each pair of links, are located at an angle to each other. A lodgement in the form of prism or baffle is mounted on the saddle member and is capable o rotate relatively to vertical axis. Longitudinal axis of symmetry of lodgement working surface is placed horizontally. A rotating seat is fixed on the saddle member. Mass centers of links are located axes of hinges, connecting them with the cantilever and the saddle member. EFFECT: device is used in lathes and machines. 4 cl, 2 dwg
