JOINT MECHANISM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18123123 titled 'JOINT MECHANISM
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a joint mechanism that consists of two joint portions connected by a connecting member, allowing them to rotate relative to each other.
- The joint mechanism includes multiple wires that extend from the first joint portion to the second joint portion in a straight line, with one end attached to the second joint portion in a circular shape.
- The wires are pulled to create movement in the joint mechanism.
- An offset member is placed between the two joint portions to offset the straight arrangement of the wires, allowing them to pass through the offset member.
- The offset member ensures that the wires are not aligned with each other, enabling the joint mechanism to function properly.
Original Abstract Submitted
The joint mechanism includes: a first joint portion; a second joint portion connected to the first joint portion via a connecting member so as to be relatively rotatable about an axis of the connecting member; a plurality of wires each having one end side arranged in a straight line and extending from the first joint portion toward the second joint portion, the other end side being attached to the second joint portion in a circumferential shape, and being pulled; and an offset member provided between the first joint portion and the second joint portion, the offset member being configured to offset one end side of the wire arranged in a straight line with respect to each other by passing the wire.
