  • Process and device for driving a surface in a reciprocating motion in a plane
    Patent number: 5293782
    Abstract: A device and a process are disclosed for driving a moving surface in a reciprocating motion in a plane, and having a magnitude A.sub.2. Two parallelograms are provided, which can be distorted in a plane perpendicular to the plane where the motion is carried out. Each of both parallelograms exhibits two parallel sides, one being common to both parallelograms and driven in a reciprocating motion having a displacement A.sub.1 =A.sub.2 /2, the other parallel side of the first parallelogram being stationary and the other parallel side of the second parallelogram being driven in a reciprocating motion having a displacement A.sub.2.
