Abstract:
1. A splitter that receives a reciprocating input from a driver and actuates an output, in which said splitter: a first pin, a second pin, and a midpin that are substantially parallel are mounted on a carrier; the first pin is slidably mounted in a first slot that is established on a housing and the second pin is slidably mounted in a second slot that is established on a housing; the first slot and the second slot are positioned with respect to one another; the driver is linked to the midpin and the first pin is linked to actuate the output; each position of the driver determines a corresponding position of each of, the first pin and the second pin; and the first pin is captured at one reciprocal end of the driver's stroke and the second pin is captured at the other reciprocal end of the driver's stroke; whereby the driver actuates the output through a portion of the driver reciprocation.
