Straight line drive mechanism drivable by wind or other power source
Patent
·
OSTI ID:6699456
This gearless straight line drive mechanism has a first shaft driven by wind power or other power source. The shaft drives rotatable crank arms which reciprocate connecting rods carrying a horizontal second shaft. The second shaft moves up and down. It carries and extends through the centers of flat, symmetrical, vertical links. Pivotally mounted guide arms are connected to ends of the links to move them in opposite arcuate directions while the second shaft is constrained by the guide arms and links to move in a precisely vertical path. The second shaft carries a pump rod for cyclically operating a lift pump. The guide arms may carry counterbalance weights or the guide arms may be loaded by springs, which apply forces via the guide arms and links to cyclically assist the second shaft and pump rod in lifting a load.
