Abstract:
1. An apparatus for providing elliptical motion, comprising: a) a motor; b) a drive shaft having an axis of rotation and extending from the motor, the shaft having a distal end; c) an elliptical motion creating mechanism associated with the shaft, the mechanism including at least one axially offset member having an axis of rotation in an axis offset from the axis of the shaft; d) a mounting bracket comprising e) a second axially offset member and a second mounting bracket, the second mounting bracket comprising wherein the second mounting bracket is associated with the second offset member such that the first and second mounting brackets are adapted to each move in a separate and offset elliptical path, and whereby rotation of the shaft causes the offset members to rotate and impart elliptical motion to the mounting brackets such that the base plates move in an elliptical path in both the X-axis and Y-axis directions.
