ABSTRACT:
In a leverage system, a four-member articulated linkage pivoted at one extremity on a support, one linkage member being rigid with a load arm carrying a gripper assembly for holding a tool, is connected via a pair of force-transferring levers to a pneumatic cylinder for counterbalancing gravitational moments. One lever is articulated at one end to a pivot of the four-member linkage and at another end in a toggle link to the piston of the cylinder, while the other lever is pivotally connected at one end to the piston and the toggle lever and at an opposite end to an arm of a bell crank forming a linkage member.
