Diagram illustrating the principles used by William Wallace's eidograph. The ancient Greek engineer Hero of Alexandria described pantographs in his work Mechanics. [1]In 1603, [2] Christoph Scheiner used a pantograph to copy and scale diagrams, and wrote about the invention over 27 years later, in "Pantographice seu Ars delineandi res quaslibet per parallelogrammum lineare seu cavum" (Rome 1631).
The diamond-shaped, electric-rod pantograph of the Swiss cogwheel locomotive of the Schynige Platte railway in Schynige Platte, built in 1911 Cross-arm pantograph of a Toshiba EMU. A pantograph (or "pan" or "panto") is an apparatus mounted on the roof of an electric train, tram or trolley buses [1] to collect power through contact with an ...
An example of a simple scissor lift A pantograph mirror. A scissors mechanism uses linked, folding supports in a criss-cross 'X' pattern. [1]The scissor mechanism is a mechanical linkage system used to create vertical motion or extension.
The size can be from 2” to 6”. These 3 pipes are connected by swivel joints. Swivel joints are required to provide the flexibility needed. The loading arm unfolds to get the required working envelope to load or unload the tanker, and the reverse is to retract or get a minimal space for parking or storage. Both types of loading arms may be ...
Pantograph wipers feature two arms for each blade, with the blade assembly itself supported on a horizontal bar connecting the two arms. One of the arms is attached to the motor, while the other is on an idle pivot. [citation needed] The pantograph mechanism, while being more complex, allows the blade to cover more of the windscreen on each ...
A key system that provides safety messages to pilots resumed operating on Sunday morning after an outage that began the previous night, the Federal Aviation Administration said, in the latest ...
Some mechanisms that produce reciprocating, or repeating, motion are designed to produce symmetrical motion. That is, the forward stroke of the machine moves at the same pace as the return stroke. These mechanisms, which are often referred to as in-line design, usually do work in both directions, as they exert the same force in both directions. [6]
The needle's movement between the end points of each stitch is translated from the pattern that's mounted on the easel, to the frame that holds the fabric, with the help of a pantograph. Fig. 4. Pantograph used to transfer the embroidery pattern. Fig. 4 shows a simplified view of the pantograph connected to the movable frame A.
