Abstract
A device includes multiple circular drive wheels rotationally connected, with two featuring drive pins. A drive motor, attached to one of these wheels, continuously rotates it, thereby rotating all connected wheels. The device has a driven wheel with two opposing radial slots that enable intermittent rotation around its axis as drive pins engage alternately, changing rotation direction in consecutive phases. The device also includes a first gearing wheel linked to the driven wheel and a second gearing wheel coupled to the first. A payload is connected to this second gearing wheel, which, with the payload, rotates 160-200 degrees in one direction when a drive pin engages one radial slot.
