INTRODUCTION
Mechanism and mechanical systems result from the

application

of theory from many areas of mechanical

engineering.
The only way to full understand the motion of a
mechanism is to

physically interact with such a mechanism

The work of this is based on study of relative motion
between

links and its mathematical proof.

LITERATURE SURVEY
.

Burak B. et al, (2011) designed a parallel hinged door mechanism

and its kinematics analysis by an analogy to a four bar mechanism .

Retheesh Kumar and Prof . Akash Mohanty (2013) investigated the

design, synthesis and simulation of four bar mechanism to eliminate
the plowing depth fluctuation in tractors.

Mulla Abdulkadar and Bhagyesh Deshmukh (2013) suggested that in

the analysis of a four bar mechanism of various combinations, it is
observed that the path traced by the link of mechanism of .

M.G. Bekker concluded that legged locomotion should be

mechanically superior to wheeled or tracked locomotion over a
variety of soil conditions and certainly superior for crossing
obstacles .

DEFINITIONS
Link:

eg: Reciprocating steam

engine.
Joint:
Kinematic pair:

TYPES OF STRAIGHT LINE

MECHANISM
1) Approximate straight line
mechanism
examples Watts linkage, Hoekens linkage,
Tchibechiffs
linkage, Roberts mechanism.

2) Exact straight line mechanism.

In the exact straight line mechanism are those in
which produces perfect linear output for example

Sarrus

CONSTRUCTION

WORKING
TheTchibechiffs linkageis amechanical
linkagethat converts rotational motion to
approximatestraight-line motion.

DEGREE OF
FREEDOM

Kutzbach criterion for determining the number of degrees of

freedom or movability (n) of a plane mechanism is

n = 3 (L 1) 2 j h

where,

n=number of degree of freedom

j = Number of binary joints,

h = Number of higher pairs, and

L = Number of links.n=number of degree of freedom

For Tchibechiffs mechanism having,

L=4, j=4,h=0. Then n=1

For Peaucellier mechanism number of degree of freedom is one i.e

one movability.

Advantage:

Tchibechiffs linkage mechanism produces approximate

staright line.

Smooth operation.

Compact in size.

Tchibechiffs linkage mechanism is the first solution to

generating line perpendicular to the line passing through

rotation centers.

Produces rotary motion into partial and perfect straight line

motion & vice-versa

Applications:In toy industries for making robotic toys it has

got many
applications.
It can also be used for military purpose. By
placing bomb
detectors in the machines we can easily detect
the bomb
without harmful to humans.
It can be used as heavy tanker machines for
carrying
bombs as well as carrying other military goods.
