Abstract
A conjugate drive mechanism of a motion converter includes a conjugate driver, which is rotatably mounted on a crankpin, and a bearing conjugate, which is mounted on a linearly movable shuttle. The conjugate driver moves relative to the bearing conjugate between a pair of end points. A motion arrester functions to arrest the motion of the conjugate driver as it reaches each of its end points of travel relative to the bearing conjugate. The conjugate driver has a tracking profile which is in continuous conjugating engagement with a trackable profile provided on the bearing conjugate and having the same circumferential length as the tracking profile of the conjugate driver.
