ABSTRACT:
A swing amount magnifying mechanism is disclosed, which converts a swing angle S of a first arm 41 pivotally mounted on a first shaft 5 is converted by an adjacent second arm 26 into a swing angle .theta.. A movable surface 141A which transmits swinging of the first arm 41 to a transmitting pin 28A of the second arm 26 is inclined with respect to a neutral line M. Magnification factor K (.theta./S) thus can be stabilized over a side range of the angle .theta. without being affected by displacement of the transmitting pin 28A in the direction of a neutral line M. Highly accurate swing amount conversion is thus obtainable with a fixed magnification factor without substantial component alteration.
