Hello all,
I'm trying to put together this little puppy:
which is found here: http://507movements.com/mm_226.html
Now, there are a few terms thrown around that I could use help clearing up. The descriptions use the terms "fast on the shaft, F" and "loose on the shaft, F" to describe the position of things. I need to be sure that "fast on the shaft" means that the mechanism is actually attached to the shaft e.g. like a wheel and axle, so that they must turn together, and that "loose on the shaft" means they will rotate separately.
Then I'm also curious, in this diagram, about the position of frame A with respect to bevel gear D. You'll probably need to read the description to follow it easily, I think. Apparently A and D rotate together, and A rotates with F. So what sort of connection is there between D and A? I can't think of a linkage that would allow D to rotate axially, and keep it connected to A, without interfering with shaft F. Any clarification? Or better yet, a name for this device? Help is always appreciated!
Thanks in advance.
