HAND TYPE APPARATUS FOR HANDLING ARTICLES Russian patent published in 2002 - IPC

FIELD: combination type mechanisms with complex motion of outlet links designed for performing subsidiary operations at maintaining machines, machine tools, presses and other different-designation apparatuses. SUBSTANCE: apparatus in the form of combination mechanism includes actuating mechanism with outlet links and jaws; transmission mechanism with driving and outlet links and drive unit. Outlet link of transmission mechanism is in the form of driving link of actuating mechanism. Outlet links of both mechanisms are movably coupled one with another. Transmission mechanism is in the form of mechanism with complex motion of rocker arm jointly connected with driving link and movably coupled with outlet link. Driving link of transmission mechanism is in the form of crank mounted on shaft of drive unit; its outlet link is in the form of rocking link. Outlet links of actuating mechanism are jointly mounted on free end of rocker arm of transmission mechanism. Movable coupling of outlet links of transmission and actuating mechanisms is realized by means of shaped grooves on surface of outlet link of transmission mechanism and rollers engaging with said grooves. Said rollers are mounted on free ends of outlet links of actuating mechanism. EFFECT: simplified design, enhanced operational efficiency of apparatus. 7 cl, 2 dwg
