<p>The present invention relates to a device for converting a uniform circular movement into a variable or uniform longitudinal movement. The device comprises being arranged an assembly of rods forming the generatrices of a right cylinder having a circular section. The rods may rotate with a constant angular speed. The rods are grooved with notches at equal or different distances between the notches, which grooves house a wire or cable, wound helicoidally on the cylindrical body established by the rods, so that upon the latter rods rotating, the cable generates a longitudinal movement in the direction of the axis of the rods. The movement is uniform on the stretches in which the grooves are equidistant, and is in such a form that if the distance between grooves varies in accordance with differential elements, the longitudinal movement is obtained whose velocities in relation to time would vary from zero to a maximum and again to zero. This makes it possible to establish a distribution of speeds that would respond to a pre-established law of velocities.</p> |
