Abstract
This invention is a reversible mechanical movement. A bearing arm is rigidly connected to an oscillatory shaft. A contact disc is rigidly attached to a rotatable shaft. The bearing arm and the contact disc contact one another to convert rotary motion to oscillating motion, or the reverse. The conversion of oscillating motion to linear reciprocating motion, or the reverse, is accomplished by conventional methods.
Claims12
A mechanical movement assembly comprising:
- a frame means;
- rotatable means rotatably attached to said frame means and having a contact face disposed at an oblique angle to the axis of rotation of said rotatable means;
- an oscillatory shaft rotatably attached to said frame means;
- bearing means attached to said oscillatory shaft and oscillated thereby and in contact with said contact face;
- said bearing means including a first bearing arm attached to said oscillatory shaft and spaced in one direction from the longitudinal axis of the oscillatory shaft and a second bearing arm attached to said oscillatory shaft and spaced in an opposite direction from said first bearing arm;
- and
- said first bearing arm being offset parallel with respect to said second bearing arm and disposed such that the midpoint between the axes of the first and second bearing arms is intersected by the axis of rotation of said rotatable means.
