HOISTING MECHANISM
A hoisting mechanism comprises two main modules; a base ( 1 ) and a top-section ( 8 ). The base supports two concentric rings ( 2 and 3 ) with three or more flexible links ( 5 and 6 ) pivotally connected to each ring. There is one inner ( 6 ) and one outer ( 5 ) set of links, where the inner ( 6 ) s...

Zusammenfassung: | A hoisting mechanism comprises two main modules; a base ( 1 ) and a top-section ( 8 ). The base supports two concentric rings ( 2 and 3 ) with three or more flexible links ( 5 and 6 ) pivotally connected to each ring. There is one inner ( 6 ) and one outer ( 5 ) set of links, where the inner ( 6 ) set is pivotally connected to an inner ring ( 2 ) and the outer ( 5 ) set is pivotally connected to an outer ring ( 3 ). A ring ( 4 ) at the top is connected to all of the flexible links with rotary joints ( 9 ). When the two rings ( 2, 3 ) in the base are rotated in opposite directions, the flexible links ( 5 and 6 ) will force the top ring ( 4 ) to move up or down depending on the direction of which the concentric rings are turned. |
