Abstract
There is provided a cam apparatus which operates an output shaft by converting a continuous rotational motion at a constant speed of an input shaft into a complex rotation super-positioning an oscillating rotational motion and a rotational motion at an inconstant speed. The cam apparatus comprises an input shaft ( ); a first output shaft ( ); rotational motion converting cam mechanism ( ); a slider member ( ); a relative rotation regulating cam mechanism ( ); a cam link mechanism ( ); a second output shaft ( ); and a motion converting cam mechanism ( ) engaged with and between the second output shaft and the slider member. The motion converting cam mechanism transforms the reciprocal rectilinear motion displacement of the slider member into the oscillating rotation of the second output shaft to transmit the same thereto, and transmits the rotational motion at an inconstant speed of the slider member to the second output shaft.
