Abstract:
A movement transmission apparatus for the transmission of at least two input-side (6) movement components with respectively one degree of freedom of movement in an output-side (82, 84) movement with at least two degrees of freedom of movement, or vice versa, comprising a plurality of transmission units (2), each of the transmission units (2) corresponding to an input side (6) degree of freedom of movement, whereby the transmission units (2) ,whereby these transmission units (2), by means of their respective output sections (8) are coupled with one another in a functional and parallel manner, each transmission unit (2) includes a stationarily fixed first section (4) and as input section, a second section (6) which is connected thereto by a first linkage means (22, 26, 34; 24, 28, 36), which section (6) is movable linked in the direction of the corresponding degree of freedom of movement of the transmission unit (2), whereby, the second section (6) is so constructed, that it, by means of a second linkage means (46, 50, 58; 48, 52, 60) is permitted free travel along the degree of freedom of movement of the other transmission units (2), therein characterized, in that the first (22, 26, 34; 24, 28, 36) and the second (46, 50, 58; 48, 52, 60) linkage means are constructed as bend linkages and that the second section 6, the second linkage means (50; 52; 58; 60) and the output section (8) are so constructed, that they, together, form a rigid structure along the input-side degree of freedom of movement of the associated transmission unit (2).
