Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A device ( 1 ) for moving and positioning a member in space has a mobile member ( 2 ), first and second members ( 3, 4 ) attached to a frame ( 32 ), and first and second carriages ( 5, 6 ) slidable along the members ( 3, 4 ). A first pair of arms ( 7, 8 ) are hinged to the first carriage and to the mobile member, forming a first four-bar linkage. A second pair of arms ( 10, 11 ) are hinged to the second carriage ( 6 ) and to the mobile member, forming a second four-bar linkage. A third pair of arms ( 14, 15 ) are hinged to a third member ( 13 ) and to the mobile member ( 2 ), forming a third four-bar linkage. A fourth member ( 17 ) which is hinged to the frame ( 3, 4, 19, 32 ) of the device ( 1 ) rotatably bears the third member ( 13 ), with a first actuator ( 18 ) provided for moving the fourth member ( 17 ).
