Abstract
Transmission that converts a rotary into a translational motion and is preferably attached to a motorized drive assembly, with a rotary drive mechanism and a translationally channeled motion-transmitting component that is attached to the drive mechanism in the vicinity of a track and driven by the drive mechanism. A controller wheel is attached to the motion-transmitting component by way of a cogged gear that converts the translational motion of the motion-transmitting component into a rotary motion on the part of the activating wheel. At least one activating component on the controller wheel engages at least one switch in accordance with the angle of rotation of the controller wheel.
Claims10
A transmission for converting rotary motion into translational motion for connecting to motorized drive means to move loads along a predetermined and variable extent, comprising:
- rotary drive means and a translationally channeled motion-transmitting component connected to said rotary drive means through a positively interlocking transmitting articulation adjacent a track and driven by said rotary drive means;
- a controller wheel attached to said motion-transmitting component through gear means for converting translational motion of said motion-transmitting component into rotary motion;
- at least one switch and at least one activating component engaging said switch.
