RESETTING MECHANISM Russian patent published in 2003 - IPC

FIELD: general engineering industry, applicable, for example, in pendulum-type manipulators used as a mechanism resetting the pendulum locking device. SUBSTANCE: the resetting mechanism has a cam (1) with a radius bearing surface (2) and a double-arm lever (3) installed on a base (4), as well as a resetting lever (5). A surface (7) for engagement with cam (1) and its radius bearing surface (2) is made on the first arm (6) of the double-arm lever (3) kinematically linked with resetting lever (5). The second arm of linked with resetting lever (5). The second arm of the double-arm lever (3) has a radius surface 9, whose radius coincides with the radius of radius bearing surface (2) in the initial position of the resetting mechanism. Besides, the second arm (8) has surface (10) for engagement with the radius bearing surface (2) of cam (1) preventing a turn of the double-arm lever (3) by an angle exceeding the allowable one at its too active turning by cam (1). The resetting of the double-arm lever (3) and its fixation in the initial position is performed by spring (11). EFFECT: expanded potentialities of the device design and enhanced reliability of the mechanism due to it. 1 dwg
