Abstract

Disclosed is a device including a first connection link coupled to be rotatable about a first rotary shaft, a second connection link coupled to be rotatable relative to the first connection link about a second rotary shaft, a third connection link coupled to be rotatable relative to the second connection link about a third rotary shaft, and a fourth connection link coupled to be rotatable relative to the third connection link about a fourth rotary shaft, in which first to fourth extension axes respectively defined by extending the first to fourth rotary shafts in longitudinal directions thereof intersect in an intersection region.

Claims18

Dependent claims

A device comprising:

a power generator configured to rotate a first rotary shaft;
a first connection link coupled to be rotatable about the first rotary shaft;
a second connection link coupled to be rotatable relative to the first connection link about a second rotary shaft spaced apart from the first rotary shaft;
a third connection link coupled to be rotatable relative to the second connection link about a third rotary shaft spaced apart from the second rotary shaft;
and
a fourth connection link coupled to be rotatable relative to the third connection link about a fourth rotary shaft spaced apart from the third rotary shaft,
wherein a first extension axis defined by extending the first rotary shaft in a longitudinal direction thereof, a second extension axis defined by extending the second rotary shaft in a longitudinal direction thereof, a third extension axis defined by extending the third rotary shaft in a longitudinal direction thereof, and a fourth extension axis defined by extending the fourth rotary shaft in a longitudinal direction thereof intersect in an intersection region.
