Abstract
The invention is directed to a device for converting a circular motion into a reciprocating motion, which provides for improved guiding of a drive pin arranged on an eccentric within a slide slot of a drive member. The slide slot is bounded by at least two flexurally elastic portions whose respective first end is not deflectable by the drive pin, whilst the area towards the respective second end is deflectable. The two portions extend parallel to each other in opposite directions.
