Abstract
A mass which projects from a displaceable member is supported by a lever system on a stationary frame such that the bending stresses caused by the mass on the displaceable member are reduced. The lever system uses a pair of levers which are hinged to the frame, to each other and to the displacable member and mass respectively. The lever arms are arranged such that the amount of vertical movement of the displaceable member is essentially equal at the projecting end of the mass.
Claims8
In combination with a stationary frame, a first displaceable member mounted in displaceable relation to said frame, and a second member mounted in projecting relation from said first member;
- a support means including at least a first lever hinged at one end to said first member and at a second point to said frame, and at least a second lever hinged at one end to said second member and at a second point to said frame, said levers being hingedly connected to each other at set points thereof, this last-named connection is at the same side in relation to the points where the levers are hinged to the frame.
In combination with a satisfactory frame, a vertical tubular wall of tubes for conveying a working medium, and a collector mounted on said wall in cantilevered relation;
- a support means including at least one lever hinged to said wall at one end and to said frame at a second point, and a second lever hinged to said collector at one end and to said frame at a second point, said levers being hingedly connected to each other, this last-named connection is at the same side in relation to the points where the levers are hinged to the frame.
In combination with a stationary frame, a vertical tubular wall of tubes for conveying a working medium, and a burner mounted on said wall in cantilevered relation;
- a support means including at least one lever hinged to said wall at one end and to said frame at a second point, and a second lever hinged to said burner at one end and to said frame at a second point, said levers being pivotably connected to each other, this last-named connection is at the same side in relation to the points where the levers are hinged to the frame.
