Abstract
A centralized control unit for controlling an arm moving in a clockwise direction and in a counter-clockwise direction includes an arbor about which the centralized control unit pivots. The arm is integrally mounted on a toothed actuating wheel as an assembly, and the assembly is mounted to freely rotate about the arbor. The centralized control unit also includes a wheel to control the arm in the clockwise direction, a wheel to control the arm in the counter-clockwise direction, and a power wheel kinematically connected to an independent barrel to drive the arm.
Claims13
A centralized control unit for controlling an arm moving in a clockwise direction and in a counter-clockwise direction, wherein said centralized control unit comprises:
- an arbor about which the centralized control unit pivots, wherein said arm is integrally mounted on a toothed actuating wheel as an assembly, and the assembly is mounted to freely rotate about said arbor;
- a wheel to control the arm in the clockwise direction;
- a wheel to control the arm in the counter-clockwise direction;
- and
- a power wheel kinematically connected to an independent barrel to drive the arm,
- wherein the wheel to control the arm in the clockwise direction, the wheel to control the arm in the counter-clockwise direction, and the power wheel are integrally connected.
A centralized control unit for controlling an arm moving in a clockwise direction and in a counter-clockwise direction, wherein said centralized control unit comprises:
- an arbor about which the centralized control unit pivots, wherein said arm is integrally mounted on a toothed actuating wheel as an assembly, and the assembly is mounted to freely rotate about said arbor;
- a wheel to control the arm in the clockwise direction;
- a wheel to control the arm in the counter-clockwise direction;
- and
- a power wheel kinematically connected to an independent barrel to drive the arm,
- wherein the wheel to control the arm in the clockwise direction and the wheel to control the arm in the counter-clockwise direction respectively include a 60° toothed sector arranged such that motion of the arm corresponds to a 60° rotation of said wheel to control the arm in the clockwise direction and said wheel to control the arm in the counter-clockwise direction.
A centralized control unit comprising:
- a wheel to control an arm in a clockwise direction, the arm pivotally mounted between a magazine to store information supports and a platform arranged to receive a selected information support;
- a wheel to control the arm in a counter-clockwise direction;
- and
- a power wheel kinematically connected to an independent barrel to drive the arm,
- wherein the arm is arranged to move the selected information support between an inactive storage position in the magazine and an active operating position on the platform.
