141 Universally tiltable Z axis drive arm US661292 1996-06-13 US5954840A 1999-09-21 Genco Genov; Dimitre Todorov, deceased
A tilting elevator is set forth. A rigid frame has a base, a structurally rigid structure extending upwardly from the base, and a flange attached to the structure top. The flange is generally parallel to the base. A movable elevatable structure is telescopically mounted to the rigid frame. The elevatable structure comprises upper and lower spaced apart generally parallel plates. At least three generally parallel rods extend between the plates and are connected to them by universal joints. A motor system is supported rigidly relative to the base. Each of the rods is movable relative to the plates independently of each other rod. A robotic arm having R-, .theta.- and Z-motion can be mounted to the elevator. A mechanism is preferably attached to the bottom plate of the elevatable structure for increasing the stability of the system. With the addition of a sensor and using microprocessor control, canted workpieces can be readily picked up.
142 Horizontal revolute robot US474040 1990-04-11 US5107716A 1992-04-28 Nobutoshi Torii; Susumu Ito; Masayuki Hamura; Akira Tanaka
In a horizontal revolute robot, an upper end of a ball screw (21) of a direct-acting actuator (100) is rotatably supported by a top plate of a column (10), and the lower end thereof is coupled to a drive unit (40) disposed on a base plate of the column. A first link (220) is pivotally coupled to a coupling member (210) of a manipulator (200) fixed to a slider (30) of the actuator, and a second link (240) is pivotally coupled to the first link. The ball screw is rotated by the drive unit to move the manipulator along the ball screw in unison with the slider, and servomotors (230, 250) of the manipulator are driven to turn both the links within a horizontal plane, so that a wrist portion of the robot is positioned in a robot installation space for robot operation. Since no base is required to turnably support the actuator, the robot is small-sized, light in weight, and low-priced. Since the lower movement limit position of the manipulator is low, the range of action of the robot is wide.

147 Protective device for guide track between two relatively movable machine parts US828325 1986-01-28 US4706510A 1987-11-17 Ernst Zimmer
The invention relates to the production of a guidance system (9, 14) for two machine parts (1, 2) which are movable relative to each other and are interconnected through this guidance system. To protect this guide track (9) disposed on the first machine part (1) from the track dust, grease, oil and the like, it is disposed in an almost completely closed guide channel. This guide channel is accessible only from the top through a slot engaged by guide elements (14) of the other machine part (2). The slot is covered on the one hand by the housing of machine part (2), and in the area outside of this housing it is closed by a belt (4). The guide track (9) is thus closed to the outside in any position of the machine part (2). If a toothed belt drive (3) is used, the toothed belt (4) acts as driving and covering element at the same time.

152 Controlled toggle mechanisms US28089D 1972-10-25 USRE28089E 1974-07-30
A MECHANISM FOR OPERATING A WORK ELEMENT FROM ONE SELECTED POSITION TO OTHER SELECTED POSITIONS IN SUCCESSION IS DESCRIBED, UTILIZING THE SPECIAL PROPERTY OF TOGGLES SO THAT THE END POSITION IS REACHED WITH SMOOTH DECELERATION AND WITHOUT OVERTRAVEL. MULTIPLE TOGGLES HAS AN INPUT END THAT IS EMBODIMENTS, WHERE EACH TOGGLE HAS AN INPUT END THAT IS ADJUSTABLE WHILE THAT TOGGLE IS BUCKLED TO CORRESPOND TO THE DESIRED POSITION THAT THE WORK ELEMENT WILL REACH WHEN A POWER ACTUATOR ERECTS THE TOGGLE. ONE TOGGLE IS USED FOR DRIVING THE WORK ELEMENT IN ONE DIRECTION AND ANOTHER TOGGLE IS USED WHEN THE WORK ELEMENT IS TO BE DRIVEN IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION. FOUR TOGGLES ALLOW FOR DRIVE IN EITHER DIRECTION BY ONE TOGGLE WHILE ANOTHER TOGGLE IS AVAILABLE FOR ADJUSTMENT IN CONTROLLING THE NEXT MOTION IN EITHER DIRECTION. THIS SAVES TIME, ENABLING EACH STROKE TO FOLLOW ANOTHER WITHOUT DELAY FOR ADJUSTMENTS. THE SELECTIVELY USED TOGGLES CAN BE COMPACTLY ARRANGED SIDE-BY-SIDE AT THE SAME SIDE OF A WORK SHAFT BUT CONNECTED TO OPPOSITE SIDES OF THE SHAFT, TO ROTATE THE SHAFT IN EITHER REQUIRED OPERATING DIRECTION. SIMILARLY, A COMMON ADJUSTING UNIT CAN BE USED FOR ALL THE TOGGLES, UTILIZING EXTENSIBLE AND CONTRACTABLE COUPLINGS BETWEEN THE ADJUSTING UNIT AND THE ADJUSTABLE TOGGLE ENDS.
