Abstract
The invention relates to a coupling body that can convert a linear input movement into a linear output movement transversal to the input movement. The coupling body includes two parallel flexional arms of the same length, the ends of the flexional arms being connected by means of transversal connection arms. The connection arms carry driving bodies which represent load bodies arranged at the same distance from the neutral lines of the connection arms, in the same direction.
Claims30
Elastically flexible coupling body for coupling a drive unit (20, 24) with a tool (12), which body converts an input motion taking place along an input axis into an output motion taking place along an output axis different from the input axis, characterised in that it exhibits two parallel flexural arms (28, 30) of equal length which are connected at their ends by transverse connecting arms (32, 34), and in that a high-frequency flexural force is applied on at least one of the flexural arms (28, 30) under a lever arm.
