Inversions of mechanism: A mechanism is one in which one of the links of a kinematic chain is fixed. Dierent mechanisms can be obtained by fixing dierent links of the
same kinematic chain. These are called as inversions of the mechanism. By changing the fixed link, the number of mechanisms which can be obtained is equal to the
number of links. Excepting the original mechanism, all other mechanisms will be known as inversions of original mechanism. The inversion of a mechanism does not change
the motion of its links relative to each other.

Four bar chain:

Fig 1.22 Four bar chain

One of the most useful and most common mechanisms is the four-bar linkage. In this mechanism, the link which can make complete rotation is known as crank (link 2). The
link which oscillates is known as rocker or lever (link 4). And the link connecting these two is known as coupler (link 3). Link 1 is the frame.

Fig.1.23 Inversions of four bar chain.

Crank-rocker mechanism: In this mechanism, either link 1 or link 3 is fixed. Link 2 (crank) rotates completely and link 4 (rocker) oscillates. It is similar to (a) or (b) of fig.1.23.

Fig.1.24

Drag link mechanism. Here link 2 is fixed and both links 1 and 4 make complete rotation but with dierent velocities. This is similar to 1.23(c).

Fig.1.25

Double crank mechanism. This is one type of drag link mechanism, where, links 1& 3 are equal and parallel and links 2 & 4 are equal and parallel.

Fig.1.26

Double rocker mechanism. In this mechanism, link 4 is fixed. Link 2 makes complete rotation, whereas links 3 & 4 oscillate (Fig.1.23d)

Slider crank chain: This is a kinematic chain having four links. It has one sliding pair and three turning pairs. Link 2 has rotary motion and is called crank. Link 3 has got
combined rotary and reciprocating motion and is called connecting rod. Link 4 has reciprocating motion and is called slider. Link 1 is frame (fixed). This mechanism is used to
convert rotary motion to reciprocating and vice versa.

Fig1.27

Inversions of slider crank chain: Inversions of slider crank mechanism is obtained by fixing links 2, 3 and 4.

Elliptical trammel. This is a device which is used for generating an elliptical profile.

(http://engineering.myindialist.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/clip_image032.jpg)

Fig.1.35: Elliptical trammel

In fig. 1.35, if AC = p and BC = q, then, x = q.cos and y = p.sin.

Rearranging, (http://engineering.myindialist.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/clip_image034.gif).

This is the equation of an ellipse. The path traced by point C is an ellipse, with major axis and minor axis equal to 2p and 2q respectively.

Oldham coupling. This is an inversion of double slider crank mechanism, which is used to connect two parallel shas, whose axes are oset by a small amount.
