COMBINATION MECHANISM WITH COMPLEX MOTION OF OUTLET LINKS Russian patent published in 2007 - IPC B25J18/04 

FIELD: apparatuses for maintaining machines and equipment providing gripping of articles for moving it from one position to other.

SUBSTANCE: combination mechanism includes transfer mechanism with kinematically coupled driving and outlet links where outlet link is movably joined with rotary guide jointly coupled with strut and actuating mechanism with outlet links and jaws for gripping articles and also with intermediate link - follower. Outlet link of transfer mechanism serves as driving link of actuating mechanism. Kinematics connection of driving and outlet links of transfer mechanism includes intermediate links in the form of rocker arm performing reciprocation motion and pusher joined with it. Rocker arm is movably joined with driving link; pusher is jointly coupled with outlet link of mechanism. Outlet link of transfer mechanism is double-arm one; its one arm is movably joined with rotary guide and its other arm is jointly coupled with actuating mechanism outlet links engaged with shaped grooves of follower body.

EFFECT: impact-free motion mode of outlet links, enhanced efficiency, possibility for transferring increased-mass articles.
