  • Compliant mechanism for simulating endoscopy
    Patent number: 12106679
    Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a compliant mechanism (100) for application of radial resistance on a simulation endoscope (101). The mechanism (100) comprises a support plate (102), a ring member (103) rotatably mounted on the support plate (102) and a plurality of flexible beam assemblies (104) configured in an inner circumference of the ring member (103). The plurality of flexible beam assemblies (104) comprises a first beam (104a) connectable to the ring member (103) and a second beam (104b) connectable to the support plate (102), the circular motion of at least one of the support plate (102) and the ring member (103), relative to each other, moves the plurality of flexible beam assemblies (104) radially inward and radially outward to selectively apply radial resistance on the simulation endoscope (101). The complaint mechanism (100) of present disclosure are joint less mechanisms which are free from backlash and friction in joints.
