Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2005098277A1] The invention relates to a mechanism for converting a linear motion into an arcuate motion, which can be used in a scanning device. The inventive mechanism comprises: a structure (35) which can move along a linear path and which can be connected to a drive device (34), a support part (39) which is mounted to the mobile structure (35) such that it can slide perpendicularly to the aforementioned linear path, at least one connecting rod (48, 49) which is articulated to (i) a fixed structure around a first axis of rotation located in a plane that is perpendicular to the linear path and (ii) the mobile structure (35) around a second axis that is parallel to the first. The arcuate movement of the support part (39) results from the sliding thereof under the action of the connecting rod (48, 49) and the translational movement produced by the mobile structure (35).
