STAGE APPARATUS, PATTERN FORMING APPARATUS, AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING ARTICLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18364850 titled 'STAGE APPARATUS, PATTERN FORMING APPARATUS, AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING ARTICLE

Simplified Explanation

The stage apparatus described in the patent application is designed to move a stage in a specific direction while reducing reaction forces generated during movement.

  • First stage is movable in a first direction.
  • First driving unit generates thrust force to move the first stage.
  • Reaction force reducing unit generates thrust force to reduce reaction force from the first driving unit.
  • Thrust forces can vary in magnitude at different positions in second and third directions perpendicular to the first direction.

Potential Applications

The stage apparatus could be used in:

  • Theater productions for moving sets smoothly and quietly.
  • Concerts for dynamic stage setups.
  • Industrial settings for precise positioning of equipment.

Problems Solved

  • Minimizes vibration and noise during stage movement.
  • Reduces wear and tear on stage components.
  • Enhances safety by controlling reaction forces.

Benefits

  • Improved performance and efficiency of stage movements.
  • Enhanced user experience with smoother transitions.
  • Extended lifespan of stage equipment.


Original Abstract Submitted

The stage apparatus according to the present invention includes a first stage configured to be movable in a first direction, a first driving unit configured to generate a thrust force to move the first stage in the first direction, and a reaction force reducing unit configured to generate a thrust force to reduce a reaction force generated by the generation of the thrust force of the first driving unit. The reaction force reducing unit can generate the thrust forces with different magnitudes from each other at a plurality of positions in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, and can generate the thrust forces with different magnitudes from each other at a plurality of positions in a third direction perpendicular to the first direction and the second direction.
