  2. Pantograph - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pantograph

    Drafting pantograph in use Pantograph used for scaling a picture. The red shape is traced and enlarged. Pantograph 3d rendering. A pantograph (from Greek παντ- 'all, every' and γραφ- 'to write', from their original use for copying writing) is a mechanical linkage connected in a manner based on parallelograms so that the movement of one pen, in tracing an image, produces identical ...

  3. Straight-line mechanism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straight-line_mechanism

    The Scott Russell linkage (1803) translates linear motion through a right angle, but is not a straight line mechanism in itself. The Grasshopper beam/Evans linkage, an approximate straight line linkage, and the Bricard linkage, an exact straight line linkage, share similarities with the Scott Russell linkage and the Trammel of Archimedes.

  4. Five-bar linkage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five-bar_linkage

    This configuration is also called a pantograph, [2] [3] however, it is not to be confused with the parallelogram-copying linkage pantograph. The linkage can be a one-degree-of-freedom mechanism if two gears are attached to two links and are meshed together, forming a geared five-bar mechanism.

  5. How Round Is Your Circle? - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/How_Round_Is_Your_Circle?

    The construction of physical measuring and calculating devices including rulers, protractors, pantographs, planimeters, integrators, and slide rules [2] [3] Mechanical linkages, pantographs, four-bar linkages, and the problem of converting rotary to linear motion, solved by the Peaucellier–Lipkin linkage and by Hart's inversor [4] [5]

  6. Burmester's theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burmester's_theory

    Burmester's approach to the synthesis of a four-bar linkage can be formulated mathematically by introducing coordinate transformations [T i] = [A i, d i], i = 1, ..., 5, where [A] is a 2×2 rotation matrix and d is a 2×1 translation vector, that define task positions of a moving frame M specified by the designer.

  7. Linkage (mechanical) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linkage_(mechanical)

    Linkage mobility Locking pliers exemplify a four-bar, one degree of freedom mechanical linkage. The adjustable base pivot makes this a two degree-of-freedom five-bar linkage. It is common practice to design the linkage system so that the movement of all of the bodies are constrained to lie on parallel planes, to form what is known as a planar ...

    Some troops leave the battlefield injured. Others return from war with mental wounds. Yet many of the 2 million Iraq and Afghanistan veterans suffer from a condition the Defense Department refuses to acknowledge: Moral injury.

    Animation for Peaucellier–Lipkin linkage: Dimensions: Cyan Links = a Green Links = b Yellow Links = c. The Peaucellier–Lipkin linkage (or Peaucellier–Lipkin cell, or Peaucellier–Lipkin inversor), invented in 1864, was the first true planar straight line mechanism – the first planar linkage capable of transforming rotary motion into perfect straight-line motion, and vice versa.
