Device for converting linear movement into and vice versa oscillating movement

Abstract

Abstract The present invention relates to a device for converting linear movement into rotary movement, or vice versa, of the type comprising two coaxial tubes (4, 6), one (4) of which is fixed and the other (6) of which can rotate without sliding relative to the first, and in each of which is formed at least one oblong slot (9, 12), the slots of the two tubes having, relative to each other, a difference in inclination at a same level in the axial direction of the tubes, and at least one rigid transverse element (5, 11) traversing the respective slots of each of the two tubes, being free to pivot and capable of being displaced linearly in the direction of the axis (A) of the tubes in order to cause the said other tube to rotate. According to the invention, the slots of the two tubes have a difference in inclination which can vary depending upon the level. <IMAGE>
