Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
148 words
An electrical robot comprising: a base; a rotary base rotatably provided on said base; a support beam provided on said rotary base and free to turn about a base end of said support beam; an arm supported on a distal end of said support beam and free to turn about a base end of said arm; a wrist mechanism provided on a distal end of said arm and having at least one degree of freedom of motion; a transmitting mechanism for transmitting a driving force to said wrist mechanism; and driving means including at least one motor for driving said wrist mechanism through said transmitting mechanism, said transmitting mechanism having at least one reduction gear for reducing a driving force transmitted to said wrist mechanism, said driving means and said reduction gear being mounted sideways at an intermediate portion on a rear part of said support beam .
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
148 words
An electrical robot comprising: a base; a rotary base rotatably provided on said base; a support beam provided on said rotary base and free to turn about a base end of said support beam; an arm supported on a distal end of said support beam and free to turn about a base end of said arm; a wrist mechanism provided on a distal end of said arm and having at least one degree of freedom of motion; a transmitting mechanism for transmitting a driving force to said wrist mechanism; and driving means including at least one motor for driving said wrist mechanism through said transmitting mechanism, said transmitting mechanism having at least one reduction gear for reducing a driving force transmitted to said wrist mechanism, said driving means and said reduction gear being mounted sideways at an intermediate portion on a rear part of said support beam .
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
44 words
An electrical robot as claimed in claim 1 in which said wrist mechanism has at least two degrees of freedom of motion, and said driving means comprises a plurality of motors for driving said wrist mechanism in mutually different directions through said transmitting mechanism.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
74 words
An electrical robot as claimed in claim 1 in which said wrist mechanism has at least two degrees of freedom of motion, said driving means comprises a plurality of motors for driving said wrist mechanism in mutually different directions through said transmitting mechanism, said transmitting mechanism comprises reduction gears for reducing driving forces transmitted to said wrist mechanism, and said motors and said reduction gears are aligned vertically and arranged on said support beam.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
27 words
An electrical robot as claimed in claim 1 which further comprises a driving motor for driving said arm provided on an upper surface of said rotary base.
