摘要: An assembly comprised of at least one fixed panel and at least two moveable panels is provided. The moveable panels are capable of being controllably shifted relative both to each other and to the fixed panel such that first and second aligned and non-aligned positions can be achieved. The assembly is further comprised of two or more drive links which are, in turn, comprised of a center pivot which engages with the fixed panel and two or more outer pivots which engage with the movable panels.

摘要: A ring linkage is hereby disclosed that is comprised of at least six links, each link having at least two pivots located proximate to their ends, said links being arranged in a loop whereby each link is pivotally attached via its end pivots to two neighboring links.The motion of the linkage is synchronized by a multiplicity of mechanical elements that serve to synchronize the relative rotation of the links in the assembly such that when a given link rotates by an angle, every second link rotates by the same angle. These synchronizing elements may be either gears, cables or belts, thus the relative angle between the every second link in the ring linkage (as defined by lines passing through their respective end pivots) remains constant and unchanging even as the position of the linkage is changed.
摘要翻译: 因此,公开了由至少六个连杆构成的环形连杆,每个连杆具有至少两个位于其端部附近的枢轴,所述连杆被布置成环形,由此每个连杆经由其端部枢轴枢转地连接到两个相邻的连杆。 连杆的运动通过多个机械元件同步,这些机械元件用于使组件中的连杆的相对旋转同步,使得当给定的连杆旋转一个角度时,每个第二连杆以相同的角度旋转。 这些同步元件可以是齿轮,电缆或皮带,因此,环形连杆机构中的每个第二连杆件之间的相对角度(由通过它们各自的端部枢轴的线限定)保持恒定且不变,即使连杆的位置改变 。

摘要: A mechanism that is comprised of two or more four-bar linkages is shown. Each linkage shares a common link with each adjacent linkage and the movement of said two or more linkages is synchronized by mechanical means such that said mechanism may move between a collapsed and an extended state. Said mechanical means may be in the form of additional links or geared connections.

摘要: A variable panel assembly is herein disclosed which is comprised of a plurality of panels and a plurality of links where by rotating one or more links, the assembly shifts between a largely uncovered configuration to a covered configuration, where in the first configuration the panel profiles are essentially aligned, and in the second configuration the panel profiles are offset relative to one another. Further disclosed herein are methods to control the movement of the assembly, both manual and motorized.

摘要: A puzzle assembly is shown and comprises a multiplicity of geared links that are arranged such that their turning axes are oriented along the edges of a polyhedral shape so that when a single link is turned, all links turn synchronously. In the assembly, there are two end positions of the geared links. In each end position, a set of link groups are formed, each of those groups corresponding to one face of the polyhedral shape so that each link group forms a circular track that is inscribed on that particular face. When the puzzle assembly is moved to a second end position, a new set of new link groups is formed corresponding to a different a different set of faces of the polyhedral shape. The puzzle assembly further comprises a number of “petal elements” equal to the number of geared links. The petals have a faceted form and a base piece that extends from that form for providing a sliding contact with the geared links. Each petal element is retained by a geared link. When the puzzle assembly is in one end position, a group of petals corresponding to a polyhedral face touch each other to form a pyramidal shape. Thus, one-half of their surfaces are exposed and one-half of their surfaces are hidden. When the puzzle assembly is “flipped”—the geared links are turned to their other end position—the petals recombine to hide the previously visible surfaces and to reveal the previously invisible surfaces. Importantly, in either end position, the group of petals corresponding to a polyhedral face may be twisted around the center point of that face, thereby changing the correspondence between the geared links and the petal elements.
