ABSTRACT:
A force multiplier mechanism comprising a base supporting member, a driving lever being pivotably connected by a first pivot means to said base supporting member which can be rotated about the first pivot for a predetermined angle between a first and second position thereof, a driven lever one end of which is pivotably connected to the free end of the driving lever by a second pivot, a follower pivotably connected to the other end of the driven lever which receives a multiplied force and transmits it to other member, said follower being supported remote from the second pivot means by a distance substantially equal to the distance defined between the first and second pivot means, and a guide means for guiding the follower coupled to the driven lever which forces the driven lever to rotate about the second pivot and in turn forces said follower along a continuous pathway to a point located close to said first pivot resulting in high force multiplication.
