Usage

The data "Doublekurve with a junction 4" describes a four bar linkage whose dimensions can be variegated. In this interactive worksheet the four link lengths, coupler-triangle lengths and the angle of drive are able to be changed. For moving the mechanism the point A can be displaced on a reference circle around A0. The adaption of the distances AAo, AB... can be made by moving the left points in horizontal direction of each line displayed below. Thereby the modification of the cam coupler is directly recognizable.
