Problem Sheet

A folding chair that is commonly used in stadiums is shown in Figure. Draw


a kinematic diagram of the folding mechanism. Also calculate DOF?

A mechanism is used to open the door of a heat treating furnace and is shown
in Figure. Draw a kinematic diagram of the mechanism. The end of the
handle should be identified as a point of interest. Also calculate DOF?

A sketch of a device to move packages from an assembly bench to a


conveyor is shown in Figure. Draw a kinematic diagram of the mechanism.
Also calculate DOF?
A sketch of a backhoe is shown in Figure. Draw a kinematic diagram of the
mechanism. Also calculate DOF?

A sketch of a lift platform is shown in Figure. Draw a kinematic diagram of


the mechanism. Also calculate DOF?
A sketch of an adjustable-height platform used to load and unload freight
trucks is shown in Figure. Draw a kinematic diagram of the mechanism.
Also calculate DOF?
CASE STUDIES
The mechanism shown in Figure has been taken from a feed device for an
automated ball bearing assembly machine. An electric motor is attached
to link A as shown. Carefully examine the configuration of the components in
the mechanism. Then answer the following leading questions to gain insight
into the operation of the mechanism.

Questions:
1. As link A rotates clockwise 90, what will happen to slide C?
2. What happens to the ball trapped in slide C when it is at this position?
3. As link A continues another 90 clockwise, what action occurs?
4. Why are there chamfers at the entry of slide C?
5. Why do you suppose there is a need for such a device?
