ABSTRACT:
A linear drive arrangement comprises a prime mover which is capable of rotatably driving a screw threaded rod. A carriage is mounted on the rod and carries a plurality of bristles, for example in the form of a brush, which bristles contact the surface of the screw threaded rod. Rotation of the rod by the prime mover causes the bristles to follow screw thread of the rod to drive the carriage along the rod. The advantage of this is that no clutch mechanism is required as if force is applied to the carriage either to prevent it from moving along the rod or to push it along the rod, the bristles will flex to ride over the screw threaded surface of the rod.
