Abstract:
1. A device for swiveling an object comprising: (a) a frame; (b) first and second crosswise displacement elements; (c) a support coupling element and a guide coupling element, said support coupling element and said guide coupling element being two-dimensionally displaceable via the first and second crosswise displacement elements, said support coupling element comprising a drive-side support coupling rotary joint and a power-take-off side support coupling rotary joint, said drive-side support coupling rotary joint comprising a joint journal, said guide coupling element comprising a drive-side guide coupling rotary joint and a power-take-off-side guide coupling rotary joint; (d) a guide element comprising a first crank having first and second sides; (e) a power take-off element for holding the object; (f) a rigid crank extension; (g) a cantilevered journal; (h) a power-take off lever; and (i) a driving element; wherein the first crank is mounted on the frame on the first side and connected with the support coupling on the second side by the joint journal with rotary articulation, wherein the rigid crank extension is arranged axially to the joint journal and between the support coupling element and the guide coupling element, said rigid crank extension being connected with the drive-side guide coupling rotary joint in such a manner that the first crank moves the drive-side support coupling rotary joint and the drive-side guide coupling rotary joint along concentric circle tracks, wherein a first distance between the power-take-off-side support coupling rotary joint and the drive-side support coupling rotary joint is identical to a second distance between the power-take-off-side guide coupling rotary joint and the drive-side guide coupling rotary joint, wherein the power-take-off-side support coupling rotary joint and the power-take-off-side guide coupling rotary joint are rotatably connected with one another to the power take-off element in such a manner that the power take-off element is situated on a side of the support coupling element that faces the frame, and the cantilevered journal passes through the guide coupling element and is rigidly connected with the power-take off lever, said power-take off lever in turn being connected with the power-take-off-side guide coupling rotary joint.
