Abstract
A mechanism for generating a square output motion utilizing a continuous constant speed rotary input. A reaction member such as an internal or external ring gear concentric to a first axis is provided together with first and second rotating members, the second being mounted for rotation on the first rotating member on an axis spaced from the first axis. An output member is mounted on the second rotating member and a means is provided for connecting for rotation the second rotating member and the reaction member. Input rotation of the second rotating member causes the output member to follow a square path.
