ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to mechanisms for reducing heat generation in a pivot joint, and to methods for their use. The mechanism may be designed to average relative velocities of a pin with respect to velocities of first and second members joined by the pin. The mechanism may comprise at least one linked member adapted to rotate the pin simultaneously with respect to both the first and second members. In such manner, the heat generated in the joint may be reduced, thereby decreasing the likelihood of failure of one or more of the joint's parts.
