Abstract

A stroke enlarging mechanism comprises a stationary rack, a saddle member driven by an actuator relative to the stationary rack, an operating arm movable relative to the saddle member, and a movable rack secured to the operating arm. A first pinion and a second pinion are rotatably mounted in the saddle member to be engageable with the stationary rack and the movable rack, respectively. A coupling device couples the two pinions with each other. Upon driving the saddle member relative to the stationary rack, the two pinions are rotated thus displacing the operating arm for a distance larger than the driving stroke of the saddle member.
