Abstract
The invention relates to a drive arrangement containing a rotational mass which is supported so as to be rotatable about a first axis, a bearing element supported so as to be rotatable about a second axis extending perpendicular to the first axis having a bearing for supporting the rotational mass, an oscillating body supported so as to be rotatable about a third axis perpendicular to the second axis having a bearing for supporting the bearing element, a drive provided on the oscillating body for generating a rotary movement of the bearing element about the second axis, a housing having a bearing for supporting the oscillating body, and a brake fixed to the housing for braking the rotary movement of the oscillating body in such a way that with each braking operation a driving force is transmitted to the housing.
Claims13
A driving assembly comprising:
- (a) a rotational mass pivotably supported about a first axis;
- (b) a bearing element pivotably supported about a second axis, said second axis extending perpendicular to said first axis, said bearing element comprising a bearing for bearing said rotational mass;
- (c) an oscillation body pivotably supported about a third axis extending perpendicular to said second axis, said oscillation body comprising a bearing for bearing said bearing element;
- (d) a driving device provided at said oscillation body for generating a rotational movement of said bearing element about said second axis;
- (e) a housing with a bearing for bearing said oscillation body;
- and
- (f) a brake fixed to said housing for braking a rotational movement of said oscillation body in such a way that an angular momentum is transferred to said housing with each braking process.
