UMFORMER ZUM UMWANDELN EINER HIN- UND HERBEWEGUNG IN EINE GLEICHFOERMIGE ROTATION

摘要

The invention relates to an arrangement for converting reciprocating motion into even rotational motion. The arrangement comprises a frame (1), a flywheel (2), a pull member (3) attached to the flywheel by means of a free gear mechanism (4), and a brake band arranged to resist the rotational motion of the flywheel (2). In order to achieve smooth operation without jerks, the arrangement comprises a relief member (7) connected to the frame by means of a lever mechanism (4). When the pull member (3) is pulled (A), it presses the relief member (7) and turns the lever mechanism so that the brake band is tightened against the flywheel. When the free gear mechanism (4) draws the pull member in direction (B), the lever mechanism (9) is arranged to turn so that it reduces the tightening force exerted by the brake band on the peripheral face of the flywheel.
