Patented Jan. 14, 1936 iiitlt'iED STATES PATENT OFFICE SYSTEM FOR MOVING BODIES TOWARDS AND AWAY FROM EACH OTHER Adolf Kriimmer, Berlin, Germany 14 Claims.
My invention relates to improvements in systems for moving bodies towards and away from each other and the object of the improvements is to provide a system which combines the functions of this moving the said bodies towards and away from each other and supporting or holding the same in their relative positions and further to increase the stability of the bodies relatively to each other. Other objects are to provide an apparatus which has a low weight, and which when folded together requires little room. With these objects in View my invention consists in connecting the bodies by means of pairs of angularly disposed links which are adapted to be inclined more or less relatively to the bodies by means of a rotary member for shifting the apices of the angularly disposed links. Thus rotary movement of the said rotary member is transformed into progressive movement of the said apices and the body connected with the links at the said apices, transverse displacement being made impossible by the location of the ends of the links, and by the outwardly projected links forming a frame work.
For the purpose of explaining the invention two examples embodying the same have been illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which Fig. 1 is a diagrammatical perspective view of the apparatus, and
Fig. 2 is a similar view showing a modification; Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the invention as embodied in atable;
Fig. e is a perspective view showing the invention as embodied in a beacon tower; Q Fig. 5 is a perspective view showing a section of a bridge construction; and
Fig. 6 is an elevation, partly in section, showing a portion of a bridge embodying a construction according to Fig. 5.
In the figures the system has been shown with the links projected. The system illustrated in Fig. 1 comprises two bodies A and B in the form of disks, a disk C disposed concentrically of the disk B and adapted to be turned relatively thereto about its axis, a set of links (1 a a jointed with their top and bottom ends respectively to the disks A and B at l, m, n and o, p, q, and links b 11 12 connected with their top ends to the disk A at the joints Z, m, n of the links a a a and with their bottom ends to the rotary disk C at 1', s, t, the said joints 1', s and it being located one circle which is concentric to the disk C. All the links have equal length.
If the disk C is turned clockwise through an angle of all the links are folded into a horizontal plane, and in the said plane they are arranged along two equilateral triangles located one within the other. If thereafter the disk C is turned anti-clockwise, thelinks are again projected outwardly and the disk A and B are spread 5 apart and into the positionshown in the figure.
statically the last named position isthe .optimum in so far as the links provide six equilateral triangles providing a cylinder.
If either the disk B and C or the disk A are 10 reduced in diameter, the links are arranged when projected along a cone, and the frame produced thereby has even higher strength in transverse direction than the frame shown in the figure. It will be understood that the system may be ar- 15 ranged with the links in different positions, above and below the said optimum, according to the position of the disk C relatively to the disk B, the said positions corresponding to different distances between the disks A and B.
In a modification the joints of the links are not disposed on a circle but on another curve, such as an ellipse. If now the rotary disk C is turned about its axis the movable disk A is shifted in axial direction, and simultaneously it is twisted. In this case I prefer to provide more than three links in order to insure correct twisting. In this way I am enabled to transform disks, which in the folded position of the apparatus are flat, into concave bodies, for example into concave mirrors, in which case some parts of the disk, for example the lowermost parts thereof, may be fixed in position by solid or adjustable holding means of any kind, such for example as ropes or rods exposed either to pressure or tension.
In another modification one or more of the joints are mounted for being shlftable radially of the disk A, for example by means of screw mechanism, and the said mechanisms may be constructed for independent operation or for operation together with the means for imparting rotary movement to the disk C. By this mechanism, in lieu of the parallel movement of the disks A and B relatively to each other, angular movement may be obtained.
In the modification-shown in Fig. 2 two systems such as are shown in Fig. 1 are combined into a single system having the disk B in common and the links directed therefrom to opposite sides, the links and disks A beingdisposed symmetri- 50 cally to one another. If the rotary disk C which is common to both systems is turned about its axis both sets of links are simultaneously operated, and the relative movements of both systems take place with reference to the relative 55 positions of the links in opposite senses. Therefore the joints Z, m, n provided on the disk A and the joints Z m 11. provided on the corresponding disk A located at the opposite side to the disk B and below the same are moved in the same direction and the said joints Z, 111, n and 1 m 11 are not moved relatively to each other in circumferential direction. Therefore the disksAand A are shifted horizontally only relatively to the disk B, and they are moved relatively to each other only in axial direction. Therefore, whereever relative rotary movement of the supporting body and the supported body is not desired, such relative rotary movement may be avoided by combining two system in the manner described, A system of this type may be used for example in apparatus for lifting motor cars.
By combining more than two systems of the construction shown in Figs. 1 or 2 and providing proper rigid or flexible connecting members, rotary movement of a single disk such as C may be transmitted to all the other rotary disks C. Thus the whole structure may be extended or folded together all over its length or with a part of its length by imparting rotary movement to one of the said disks C.
The construction of Fig. 3 is much similar, in basic principles, to that of Fig. 1, the latch l2, l3 merely serving to lock the rotatable member C with respect to the body B when the bodies A and B are in their extended position, and the stop [4 cooperating with one of the hinged connections for the links, in order to limit the permissible angular movement of the member C.
The tower construction of Fig. 4 embodies a plurality of double elements according to the invention. The elements I and 2 may be fitted to each other, and are shown as completely extended. The element 3 is only partly extended, while element 4 is in a folded position. The beacon 5 is shown as mounted on the tower.
In Fig. 5, two double elements are illustrated, which may be used in the construction of a bridge. The rings 6 and l of the two elements 6 and 1 can be inclined towards the other rings of the elements by shifting the top ends 8 and 9 of the pairs of links H] and II, respectively, in the slits 6 and 1', so that any desired curvature may be produced for use in the bridge, such as shown, for example, in Fig. 6.
Where the system is subject to transverse thrust, as may be the case for example in the construction of turrets or supports for guns, ropes are provided which are automatically put under tension when the system is being spread apart. Where higher strength is needed, and where the system is subject to pressure, a plurality of spreading devices may be disposed concentrically of one another.
For preventing the play of the joints automatic means may be provided for fixing the joints in position.
My improved system is very stable, it has a low weight, it requires little room, and it permits rapid operation. It may be used in the construction of foldable tables, foldable seats, of tables which are adapted to be set to different heights, for example for the purpose of the sport, of the industry and scientific research. For these purposes a single system such as is shown in Fig. 1 will be suflicient.
The combination of two or more systems into a single device may be used for various purposes, for example for disappearing supports for machine guns, which are adapted to retract the gun from sight, for search lights and signals, for armour-plated turrets for directing battles or controlling the firing of guns, particularly such as are provided on board of ships remaining behind cover, disappearing observation masts on board of ships in which case the mast may be sunk below the deck while simultaneously the opening through which the mast is projected is closed folding turrets for fighting fire, for turrets used in assembling machinery and scaffolding, for which purpose the aforesaid radial displacement of one or more of the joints may be provided for laterally inclining the turrets so that also parts are accessible which are located laterally of the vertical axis of the turret for stationary or movable lifting devices for motor cars.
Where a plurality of the systems shown in Fig. 1 are arranged for horizontal movement, the system may be used for shifting lenses for example in photographic cameras, or for landing bridges on board of ships, for foldable pontoons or foldable bridges. Further, the apparatus may be used in the construction of the supporting planes of aeroplanes which are adapted to be extended in lateral and longitudinal directions.
