curves whichareexactly thesame as the curves of the side walls of thecan1 grooves or channels. Thus, the block,'1n each case,
:iscurved to exactly fit the curvature of the cam groove or channel, with the resultthat the block cannot'oscillate or have a skewing motion relatively to the cam'groove or channel. In other words, the curved sides: or faces of the block are'parallel, and these parallel curved sides or faces are always parallel with the curved side walls of the cam groove or channel. Wherever the block is found in the cam groove or channel, its parallel curved sides or faces are exactly parallel with the curved side walls of the cam groove or channel. Hence, theonly oscillation of the block tively from one point to another in the groove or channel, but it never turns crosswise of the groove. or channel, not even to the slightest degree.
What I claim as my invention is:
1. An eccentric drive mechanism comprising a member to be reciprocated, a rotary cam havlng an v eccentric cam groove or channel,
the curved sides of said groove being formed on parallel curves, a curved block having parallel'curved faces fittingboth of the curved walls of said cam groove or channel, and means to pivotally mount said block on said member, whereby rotation of said cam is operative to cause reciprocation'of said memher, with incidental oscillation of said block on its mounting, while preventing oscillation or skewing of said block relatively to the ,cam
groove, the two sides of theblockbeing curved about the same axis. r Y
2. A structure as specified in claim 1, said block being in effect a segment of a ring that would fit said groove or channel, and said block being held by the cam against complete rotation on its mounting. f 3. A structure as specified in claim 1, said her comprising a stud integral withsaid memberp i 41. A structure as specified in claim 1, said means for mounting the block on said member comprising a stud integral with said member, together with a bushing interposed .be-
tween said stud and said block.
5. A structure as specified in claim 1, said cam having another cam groove concentric to said first mentioned cam groove,1said block having means fitting and engaging the last mentioned cam'groove. Q
,6. A structure as specified in claim 1, said cam having a plurality'of concentric cam.
grooves, of which 'said first mentionedcam groove is one, and said block having curved segments formingthemeans for fitting and engaging said grooves, whereby said block is held in positionn' concentric to said grooves.
7. A structure as specified in claim" 1, said 1 means for mounting theblock on said member comprismg a stud integral wlth Tone of said 7 elements. p 1 7 Specification signed this eleventh day of Sept, 1980.
