END-STOP

摘要

A mechanism for setting the two end positions of a piston for a turning shaft of the rack and pinion type, being equally applicable to driving gears which use slotted or other guides as a system of conversion of lineal into turning movement, the mechanism consisting of a piston which moves alternatively from inside a sleeve, with one of the ends closed by a cover. The movement of the piston in either direction is effected by means of a fluid, and this movement is what starts the action over the corresponding turning shaft, whose rotary transmission can be effected by means of a rack and pinion or other type of element.
