Problem 1.1
Find a mechanism as an isolated device or in a machine and make a realistic sketch of the mechanism. Then make a freehand sketch of the kinematic schematics for the mechanism chosen. Typical examples of solutions for this problem are given in the problem definitions of Chapter 3. Some examples are:
Problem 1.2
Cabinet hinges use various types of linkages for the folding mechanism. Identify three types of cabinet hinges and make a freehand sketch of the kinematic mechanism used. There are a large number of mechanisms that are used to obtain various types of hinge motions. Below are three of them. The first is a 6-bar Watt’s linkage used for chest lids. The hinge guides the chest lid such that no part of the lid crosses the plane of the back of the chest. The second example is a four bar linkage that guides the door from the open to closed position. The hinge is basically hidden when the door is closed. The third uses a 6-bar Watt’s linkage with a slider. The lid glides about the back corner of the box.
