Mini-drafter: Used in engineering drawings to draw parallel, perpendicular or inclined lines accurately and quickly. (See answer to 4) AB=DC and AD=BC, so DC stays parallel to AB. Similarly, HG stays parallel to EF. So HG is always perpendicular to AB. The joint I is fixed before use to keep link 8 in a fixed orientation as it translates.

Note: I have the same pooper scooper at home but since that one was very dirty I decided to use the images in amazon.com. 3) Provide a name and brief description of the purpose for your mechanism. - Pooper Scooper for dog. This device is used for disposing pet waste. It eliminates a close contact of human with pet waste.

14 Name Maryam Jahanzad 3 B 2 Note: we have spring in this system. But spring can be ignored. In the next part of the home work I will consider 2 cases; one without spring and one with spring. Explanation is given below. A C 4 5) Identify the number of links (nl), DOF joints (nj), 2 DOF joints (nj2), 3 DOF joints (nj3) and mobility (M). First scenario: This scenario is more realistic and it is preferred over the second scenario. Note : Here we are ignoring the spring. It is assumed that spring doesn t make any changes to the degree of freedom of the whole mechanism. In fact, function of the spring is just to restore the original position for link 3 & 4 and make them align. By, removing the spring, original position can be still restored but manually and with applying force. nl 4 nj 4 nj2 0 nj3 0 M 6) Diagram the topology of your mechanism. 2 B 2 C 3 B 3 4 A C 4 A,A3 A, A4

15 Name Maryam Jahanzad Second scenario : This scenario is added here only to explain what happened to the spring in this kind of mechanisms. Note : Here we consider that spring exist in the geometry and works as a prismatic joint between links & 2. Spring reduces the degree of the freedom of the whole geometry. In fact by considering the spring in the mechanism we are adding 2 constraints in the mechanism. These 2 constraints are enforced on link 3 & 4. To understand the root of these constraints, we can consider the cases where spring is too stiff and the opposite case where the spring is too loose (small spring constant). nl 4 nj 5 nj2 0 nj3 0 M - Here spring is represented as a prismatic joint between link & 2. In other words, link 2 can slide in link. P D 2 3 B A 4 C D A,A3 A, A B C
