  • Patent number: 9909280
    Abstract: A mechanical linkage for a power machine includes first and second horizontal shafts extending sideways along respective first and second axes. First and second links are operably coupled to the respective first and second horizontal shafts. The links convert actuation of operator input devices of the power machine into rotation of the horizontal shafts about their axes. First and second valve actuators convert rotation of the respective first and second horizontal shafts into actuation of respective first and second spools in a hydraulic valve of the power machine.

  • Patent number: 9905446
    Abstract: Substrate transferring apparatus includes a first-hand mechanism and second hand mechanism. The first-hand mechanism includes a first lower arm, first upper arm, first-hand having a tip end portion as a first substrate holding portion, and first driven mechanism to rotate the first-hand with rotation of the first upper arm. The first-hand mechanism so the first substrate holding portion movable by rotations of the first lower arm, first upper arm, and first-hand between a contracted and extended positions. The second-hand mechanism includes a second lower arm, second upper arm, second-hand having a tip end portion as a second substrate holding portion, and second driven mechanism to rotate the second-hand with rotation of the second upper arm. The second-hand mechanism so the second substrate holding portion movable by rotations of the second lower arm, second upper arm, and second-hand in sync with the first substrate holding portion between a contracted and extended positions.
