Abstract:
A cam mechanism comprised of a roller gear cam incorporating an integrally rotated input shaft and geometrically curved tapered ribs formed on the cam's peripheral circumference, and a turret part having a spline orifice formed in its center and cam followers attached to its periphery, said cam followers riding between said tapered ribs in a manner as to impart an oscillating rotational movement to said turret; wherein said spline orifice is formed to rectangular cross section and said cam followers are radially disposed around said spline orifice directly opposite to each planar surface of said rectangular spline orifice so as to keep said cam followers away from torque transmitting angular corners of said rectangular spline orifice and so as to provide the greatest volume of material of the turret between said cam followers and said rectangular spline orifice.
