Abstract
An apparatus for directly converting rotary motion to alternating linear motion comprising a cylindrical shaft and a first eccentric mounted on said shaft, a multiple eccentric comprised of a second eccentric, a third eccentric, and a first cylindrical bore extending through said second eccentric and said third eccentric, a first slide, and a second slide. Each of the eccentrics has the same eccentricity. The rotation of the shaft causes the first slide and the second slide to engage in reciprocting linear movement in different directions from each other.

An apparatus for directly converting rotary motion to alternating linear motion comprising:
- (a) a cylindrical shaft and a first eccentric mounted on said shaft,
- (b) a multiple eccentric comprised of a second eccentric integrally connected to a third eccentric, and a first cylindrical bore extending through said second eccentric and said third eccentric, wherein:
- 1. each of said first eccentric, said second eccentric, and said third eccentric has an eccentricity which is equal to the eccentricity of each of the other of said first eccentric, said second eccentric, and said third eccentric,
- 2. said shaft and said first eccentric are disposed within said first bore such that the rotation of said shaft and said first eccentric causes the rotation of said second eccentric and said third eccentric;
- (c) a first slide comprised of a second bore, wherein said cylindrical shaft, said first eccentric, and said second eccentric are disposed within said second bore such that the rotation of said shaft and said second eccentric causes a first reciprocating linear movement of said first slide;
- (d) a second slide comprised of a third bore, wherein said cylindrical shaft, said first eccentric, and said third eccentric are disposed within said bore such that the rotation of said shaft and said third eccentric causes a second reciprocating linear movement of said second slide, and wherein said second reciprocating linear movement is different in direction than said first reciprocating linear movement;
- (e) a first means for guiding said first slide in a first plane which is substantially perpendicular to the axis of said cylindrical shaft;
- and
- (f) a second means for guiding said second slide in a second plane which is substantially perpendicular to the axis of said cylindrical shaft, wherein said first plane and said second plane are substantially parallel to each other, and wherein said first slide and said second slide are not coplanar with each other.
