OPPOSITE CRANK-SLIDER MECHANISM Russian patent published in 1997 - IPC

FIELD: transfer mechanisms for conversion of rotary motion of drive shaft into opposite reciprocating coaxial motions of two sliders and vice versa. SUBSTANCE: crank 3 is made in form of hollow shaft, sliders 5 and 6 are identical, hinges 9 and 10 connecting the ends of connecting rods with respective arms of crank 3 are spherical in shape are mounted on inner surface of hollow shaft at diametrically opposite points; longitudinal axis of guide of sliders 5 and 6 intersects axis of rotation of crank 3 ar acute angle. Proposed mechanism may be used in piston pump and compressors, internal combustion engines and steam machines. EFFECT: enhanced reliability. 1 dwg
