Abstract
A mechanism which comprises at least one fulcrum element connected to at least one force transmission rod by a connecting member is provided. The mechanism may convert a reciprocating rectilinear movement into a rotational movement of the at least one fulcrum element. The rotation of the at least one fulcrum element may cause the at least one force transmission rod to rotate. The connecting member comprises a part, known as a lever arm that may be situated between the at least one fulcrum element and the at least one force transmission rod and has a length that varies during the relative movement of the at least one fulcrum element with respect to the at least one transmission rod.
Claims22
A mechanical device comprising a mechanism that includes at least one fulcrum element connected to at least one force transmission rod by a connecting member, the mechanism converting a reciprocating rectilinear movement into a rotational movement of said at least one fulcrum element, the rotational movement of said at least one fulcrum element rotating said at least one force transmission rod, wherein the connecting member comprises a part comprising a lever arm which is situated between said at least one fulcrum element and said at least one force transmission rod and has a length that varies over the course of a relative movement of said at least one fulcrum element relative to said at least one transmission rod.
