Abstract

Abstract A carrying device comprises a first arm (1) rotatably attached at one end thereof to a support base (3), a second arm (6) rotatably attached at one end thereof to the other end of the first arm (1), and a power transmission mechanism (8) for swinging the respective arms. By expanding and contracting actions of the arms, the device is adapted to carry a work put on a distal end part of the second arm (6).

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim 111 words
A carrying device, comprising: a) a first arm (1) mounted on a support base (3) and adapted to be horizontally rotatable about one end thereof by a rotational drive source; b) a second arm (6) horizontally rotatably attached to the other end of said first arm (1); and c) a power transmitting mechanism having a stationary wheel (4) fixed to said support base (3) coaxially with a rotary shaft of said first arm, a rotary wheel (7) attached to a rotary shaft of said second arm coaxially with said rotary shaft of said second arm (6), and a belt (8) provided between said stationary wheel (4) and said rotary wheel (7).
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 111 words
A carrying device, comprising: a) a first arm (1) mounted on a support base (3) and adapted to be horizontally rotatable about one end thereof by a rotational drive source; b) a second arm (6) horizontally rotatably attached to the other end of said first arm (1); and c) a power transmitting mechanism having a stationary wheel (4) fixed to said support base (3) coaxially with a rotary shaft of said first arm, a rotary wheel (7) attached to a rotary shaft of said second arm coaxially with said rotary shaft of said second arm (6), and a belt (8) provided between said stationary wheel (4) and said rotary wheel (7).
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 48 words
A carrying device according to claim 1, wherein said first arm (1) and said second arm (6) are made equal in length to each other; and the ratio of the diameter of said stationary wheel (4) to that of said rotary wheel (7) is determined to be 2:1.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 174 words
A carrying device assembly having two carrying device units each of which comprises: a) a first arm (12a) mounted on a support base (15) and adapted to be horizontally rotatable about one end thereof by a rotational drive source; b) a second arm (16a) horizontally rotatably attached to the other end of said first arm (12a); and c) a power transmitting mechanism having a stationary wheel (21) fixed to said support base coaxially with a rotary shaft of said first arm (12a), a rotary wheel (22) attached to a rotary shaft (17a) of said second arm (16a) coaxially with said rotary shaft of said second arm, and a belt (23) provided between said stationary wheel (21) and said rotary wheel (22), the two carrying device units being symmetrically arranged in the form of a pantograph, respective first arms (12a, 12b) being adapted to be symmetrically rotatable through a gear transmission mechanism, respective second arms (16a, 16b) being interconnected at the distal ends thereof by a carrier plate (19) of a work to be processed.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 174 words
A carrying device assembly having two carrying device units each of which comprises: a) a first arm (12a) mounted on a support base (15) and adapted to be horizontally rotatable about one end thereof by a rotational drive source; b) a second arm (16a) horizontally rotatably attached to the other end of said first arm (12a); and c) a power transmitting mechanism having a stationary wheel (21) fixed to said support base coaxially with a rotary shaft of said first arm (12a), a rotary wheel (22) attached to a rotary shaft (17a) of said second arm (16a) coaxially with said rotary shaft of said second arm, and a belt (23) provided between said stationary wheel (21) and said rotary wheel (22), the two carrying device units being symmetrically arranged in the form of a pantograph, respective first arms (12a, 12b) being adapted to be symmetrically rotatable through a gear transmission mechanism, respective second arms (16a, 16b) being interconnected at the distal ends thereof by a carrier plate (19) of a work to be processed.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 19 words
A carrying device assembly according to claim 3, wherein said carrier plate (19) is formed with an opening (25).
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 32 words
A carrying device assembly according to claim 4, wherein said opening (25) of said carrier plate (19) has an area not smaller than one-third of the entire area of said carrier plate.
