Abstract
A rotary actuator comprising a first rotor rotatable around a first axis and an axial end surface with a plurality of circumferentially spaced and axially projecting first projections, attending therefrom a second rotor rotatable around a second axis which is not coincident with the first axis, the second rotor having an axial end surface with a plurality of circumferentially spaced and axially projecting second projections extending therefrom, and a rotating mechanism being connected to the second rotor to rotate it around the second axis. The second projections project in a direction opposite to that of the first projections to cooperate therewith such that either one of the second projections engages with either one of the first projections to rotate the first rotor through a predetermined angle.
