Abstract:
1. A mechanical system, comprising: first and second separate objects, said first and second objects being subject to recurrent relative motion therebetween; a flexible rectangular waveguide connection including a first end physically connected to said first object and a second end physically connected to said second object, said waveguide connection being subject to failure due to fatigue attributable to said recurrent motion; one of a pantograph and a ball-crank-and-carriage arrangements, said one of said pantograph and a ball-crank-and-carriage arrangements including a first end physically connected to said first object and a second end physically connected to said second object, said one of said pantograph and a ball-crank-and-carriage arrangements also including an attachment portion exhibiting a motion intermediate said relative motion, for causing said attachment portion to move in an amount intermediate the motion of said first and second ends of said one of said pantograph and said ball-crank-and-carriage arrangements; and a physical connection between said attachment portion of said one of said pantograph and a ball-crank-and-carriage arrangements and the exterior of the middle of said waveguide connection.
