IMPROVEMENTS IN REMOTE CONTROL DEVICES

Patent ·
OSTI ID:4142477
A remote conirol device was inwn'enied which eliminates most of the gears, pulleys, and cables usual on such devices for handling radioactive materials behind a shield. The device comprises two frames, one actuated by the operator and the other carrying manipulation means, e,g., tongs; the twnvo frames are connected together by three identical mechanisms whereby a motion of the first frame is transmitted to the second. The manipulation means is actuated by means of flexible cable. Drawings are given for a configuration of the invention where pivotal connections between the mechanisms and the frames are cardan joints and the whole device is counter-balanced for maximum sensitivity of operation.
