Abstract
Abstract A device for converting rotary motion of one member into linear motion of a further member. Rotating member, such as a spur gear rotates an intermediate, internally and externally toothed or threaded nut. The internal threads may be caused to engage or disengage the external threads on a linearly moveable rod member, causing such linear motion thereof.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
70 words
Motion conversion device comprising: longitudinally movable, exteriorly threaded output means; rotatable interiorly threaded member having said interiorly threaded portion engageable with said exteriorly threaded portion of said output means, said interiorly threaded portion having a greater diameter than the exterior diameter of said exteriorly threaded output means portion; combination means for causing said rotatable member to become engaged with said output means and to become disengaged from said output means.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
70 words
Motion conversion device comprising: longitudinally movable, exteriorly threaded output means; rotatable interiorly threaded member having said interiorly threaded portion engageable with said exteriorly threaded portion of said output means, said interiorly threaded portion having a greater diameter than the exterior diameter of said exteriorly threaded output means portion; combination means for causing said rotatable member to become engaged with said output means and to become disengaged from said output means.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
19 words
The device of claim 1 and including: further means, said means being for causing rotation of said rotatable member.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
16 words
The device of claim 2 and including means for restricting lateral movement of said rotatable member.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
26 words
The device of claim 2 wherein said rotation causing means includes exterior threads on said rotatable member and a gear device mating with said exterior threads.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
26 words
The device of claim 2 wherein said combination means include a pair of oppositely disposed shoes adapted to exert oppositely directed forces against said rotatable member.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
17 words
The device of claim 2 and including means for absorbing the lateral thrust of said rotatable member.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
20 words
The device of claim 1 wherein said combination means includes piston means for causing one of said engagement or disengagement.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
20 words
The device of claim 1 wherein said combination means includes spring means for causing one of said engagement or disengagement.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
95 words
In a motion conversion device having a power supply to cause piston reciprocation, the combination of: shoe device linked to said piston for movement therewith and said shoe engageable with a rotatable nut device having exterior and interior threads; said interior threads being releasably engageable with exterior threads carried by a longitudinally movable output member; the interior diameter of said nut device being greater than the outer diameter of said output threads; means for causing engagement and disengagement of said nut threads and said rod threads; and means for causing rotation of said nut device.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
95 words
In a motion conversion device having a power supply to cause piston reciprocation, the combination of: shoe device linked to said piston for movement therewith and said shoe engageable with a rotatable nut device having exterior and interior threads; said interior threads being releasably engageable with exterior threads carried by a longitudinally movable output member; the interior diameter of said nut device being greater than the outer diameter of said output threads; means for causing engagement and disengagement of said nut threads and said rod threads; and means for causing rotation of said nut device.
