Displacing composite gravity centre of moving masses in machine tools - by having one mass acting on pivot of diverging arms whose ends capture other masses

摘要

Device moves the composite centre of gravity (G) of a system of three or more moving masses (Mm1m2). It comprises a system of two or more rigid arms (a1a2) which, at their converging ends, are pivotably connected (s). The inertia of one mass (M) moving towards the pivot point transmits a force in the direction of the diverging arms ends which capture the other masses (m1m2). The reaction of these masses (m1m2) causes them to move further apart so that the composite centre of gravity of the system is displaced towards the one mass (M).
