LINK MECHANISM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18652172 titled 'LINK MECHANISM
The patent application describes a link mechanism with a drive device, driven member, first and second drive force transmission mechanisms, and a transmission path switch device.
- The drive device generates a drive force to move the driven member.
- The first drive force transmission mechanism transmits the drive force to the driven member at a predetermined speed reduction ratio.
- The second drive force transmission mechanism transmits the drive force to the driven member at a different speed reduction ratio from the first mechanism.
- The transmission path switch device switches the transmission path of the drive force between the first and second transmission mechanisms.
Potential Applications: - Industrial machinery - Automotive systems - Robotics - Conveyor systems - Material handling equipment
Problems Solved: - Efficient transmission of drive force at different speed reduction ratios - Versatile mechanism for various applications - Precise control of driven member movement

Original Abstract Submitted
A link mechanism includes a drive device, a driven member, a first drive force transmission mechanism, a second drive force transmission mechanism and a transmission path switch device. The drive device generates a drive force. The driven member is moved by the drive force. The first drive force transmission mechanism transmits the drive force toward the driven member at a speed reduction ratio which is predetermined. The second drive force transmission mechanism transmits the drive force toward the driven member at a speed reduction ratio which is different from the speed reduction ratio of the first drive force transmission mechanism. The transmission path switch device switches a transmission path, along which the drive force is transmitted from the drive device toward the driven member, to one of the first drive force transmission mechanism and the second drive force transmission mechanism.
