Patent ID: 7942073

Claim:
A device for transmitting rotary motion in a diverter switch, said device comprising: a motion-transmitting member for transforming an alternating rotary motion of a drive shaft into a unidirected rotary motion of a body driven about driven shaft, wherein the motion-transmitting member comprises an intermediate body that is rotatable about an intermediate shaft, a mechanical energy accumulation member connected to the driven body, said energy accumulation member being adapted to receive energy from the intermediate shaft, and a mechanical energy transmitting member configured to transmit the mechanical energy accumulated in the energy accumulation member to the driven body, an intermediate motion member, connected to the drive shaft with a crank mechanism, for transforming the alternating rotary motion into an alternating linear motion, said intermediate motion member comprising engagement member for transforming the linear motion into a unidirected rotary motion of the intermediate shaft via drive members, and wherein the motion member is designed to exhibit an overtravel in relation to the transmitted rotary motion.
