Abstract
A proportional linear output system in which a second link mechanism consisting of a link and a slider is coupled to a portion of a link of a first link mechanism consisting of a link and a slider, so that the individual link mechanisms describe geometrically similar figures, and in which an input displacement fed to one slider is converted into an output displacement and is produced by another slider, the quantity of output displacement being reduced according to a ratio of similar figures of the first link mechanism to the second link mechanism.
Claims11
A proportional linear output system including a first lever pivotal about a first point, a second lever linked to the first lever at a second point and having an end point linked to an input element, and a third lever linked to the first lever at a third point and having an end point linked to an output element, wherein the first point and the second point of said first lever and the end point of said second lever, on the one hand, and the first point and the third point of said first lever and the end point of said third lever, on the other hand, define similar geometric figures, and wherein said input element and said output element are movable in planes parallel to each other.
