MECHANISM TO CONVERT ROTATION INTO COMPLEX MOTION Russian patent published in 2002 - IPC

FIELD: mechanical engineering and instrumentation engineering. SUBSTANCE: mechanism has housing, one input and four output shafts, four bevel gears, carrier and braked central bevel gear. Carrier is made in form of cross with axle of rotation square to cross plane and passing through center of cross on which two pairs of coaxial bevel gears are fitted. Each bevel gear of one of two pairs has two gear rims, and each bevel gear of other pair has one gear rim equal to smaller gear rims of first pair of bevel gears meshing with the rim. Cross is secured on input shaft passing through axis of cross rotation. Central gear rim coincides in dimensions with larger gear rims of first two bevel gears and it is in meshing with them. Each of four bevel gears has output shaft. Housing consists of cup secured on input shaft passing through axis of rotation of cup and fixed wall on which central bevel gear is secured. EFFECT: simplified design, enlarged mechanical capabilities of mechanism. 2 dwg
