ABSTRACT:
A mechanism for transforming a reciprocating rectilinear motion into an intermittent rotary motion comprises a first element having a longitudinal axis and being reciprocable in a direction parallel to said axis, and a second element coaxially surrounding the first element and being rotatable about the axis. The first element carries a set of two cams circumferentially and axially spaced from each other, each cam having, in plan view, the shape of a rectangular part having two opposite sides extending parallel to the axis and a triangular part having a base adjoining the rectangular part, the triangular part projecting from the rectangular part in the direction of the axis, and the triangular parts of the cams pointing in opposite directions. The second element carries a set of three pins having radially extending axes disposed in a plane extending perpendicularly to the longitudinal axis, the pins being circumferentially spaced from each other and projecting towards the cams for cooperation therewith to transform the reciprocating rectilinear motion of the first element into an intermittent rotary motion of the second element, the cams having a width and disposition and the pins having a circumferential spacing such that two adjacent ones of the pins simultaneously engage the opposite sides of the rectangular part of one cam and the third pin faces the point of the other cam. A cam follower needle is associated with each cam and resiliently engages a side of the triangular cam part close to the base thereof.
