ABSTRACT:
A rerouting mechanism is used in an assembly including a driven member movable in a driven direction to operate the movable plate of a slide gate and drive unit for moving the driven member in the driven direction and including a drive member movable in a driving direction out of alignment with the driven direction. The rerouting mechanism transfers movement of the driving member in the driving direction to movement of the driven member in the driven direction. The rerouting mechanism includes a guide member defining a bent guideway aligned with the driving direction and the driven direction. A flexible force transfer element is positioned within the guideway and is movable therealong while flexibly deforming to the configuration thereof. The transfer element has opposite ends connected to the driving member and to the driven member. Upon movement of the driving member in the driving direction, the transfer element forcibly is moved along the guideway while the transfer element flexibly deforms to the configuration of the guideway. At the same time, the driven member is moved in the driven direction.
