Glove box turntable cam rotating mechanism
Abstract
Abstract A MECHANISM FOR ROTATING A GLOVE BOX TURNTABLE THROUGH A PREDETERMINED ANGLE INCLUDES A GUIDE HAVING UPPER AND LOWER PORTIONS EACH WITH A PLURALITY OF LINEAR GROOVES THEREIN. THE LINEAR GROOVES IN THE LOWER PORTION ARE OFFSET FROM THE LINEAR GROOVES IN THE UPPER PORTION. EACH OF THE UPPER AND LOWER PORTIONS OF THE GUIDE TUBER HAVE A PLURALITY OF WEDGE GROOVES INTERSECTING THE LINEAR GROOVES IN BOTH THE UPPER AND LOWER PORTIONS. A SHAFT, POSITIONED WITHIN THE GUIDE TUBE, IS CONNECTED TO THE GLOVE BOX TURNTABLE AND INCLUDES A PIN INSERTED IN ONE OF THE LINEAR GROOVES IN THE LOWRE PORTION. MOVING THE SHAFT ALONG THE GUIDE TUBE CAUSES THE PIN TO MOVE ALONG THE LINEAR GROOVE IN THE LOWER PORTION TO ENGAGE A WEDGE GROOVE IN THE UPPER PORTION OF THE GUIDE TUBE. THE WEDGE GROOVE MOVES THE PIN WHICH CAUSES THE SHAFT TO ROTATE THROUGH PART OF THE PREDETERMINED ANGLE TO A LINEAR GROOVE IN THE UPPER PORTION OF THE GUIDE TUBE. MOVING THE SHAFT IN THE REVERSE DIRECTION CAUSES THE PIN TO ENGAGE A WEDGE GROOVE IN THE LOWER PORTION WHICH MOVES THE PIN SO AS TO ROTATE THE SHAFT THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE PREDETERMINED ANGLE BACK TO A LINEAR GROOVE IN THE LOWER PORTION.
