Abstract
The present invention concerns a mechanism (), comprising: one support () including a base (), one pendulum (), and connecting suspension rods () articulated on the base () and on the pendulum (); two mobile cog wheels () in rotation around their respective axis (A; A); two eccentric elements () integral with the cog wheels () in rotation and generating moments of gravity force around their axis (A; A); and one connecting link rod () comprising a rotary head () and an eccentric head (). The axis (A; A) are parallel within a horizontal or vertical reference plane (P). The pendulum () supports the axis (A; A) of the cog wheels () and of the eccentric elements (). The connecting rods () are slanting in accordance with an angle comprised between 45 degrees and 80 degrees in relation to a vertical plane. The cog wheels () engage one with the other using a unitary transmission ratio and are mobile in rotation in opposing directions. When the mechanism () is in operation, the eccentric elements () follow an elliptical movement, whereas the pendulum () follows a travel movement having a vertical component and a horizontal component. The moments of gravity force of the eccentric elements () have a same value and a same direction, both being variable depending on their angular position around the axis (A; A). For each angular position of the cog wheels () and of the eccentric elements () around the axis (A; A), the mechanism () presents an equilibrium configuration at rest.
