The elliptical trammel is a simple mechanism that can trace an exact elliptical path. It consists of two shuttles moving in perpendicular channels with a rod attached at fixed positions, causing the rod's end to move in an elliptical pattern. The elliptical trammel is an inversion of the double slider crank chain mechanism, obtained by fixing one of the links. It can be used to draw, cut, or machine ellipses in wood or other materials by varying the positions of the shuttles.

• The elliptical trammel is also known as elliptic
trammel or the elliptical trammel of Archimede Is a simple mechanism which can trace a exacr elliptical path.It consist of two shuttles which is confirmed Perpendicular channels or railsand a rod which is attachted to the shuttles by pivot at they fixed positions along the rod. • As the shuttle move back an front each along its channel the end of the rod moves in the way of elliptical path the semi axes A and B of that the ellipse are the distances between the end of the rod and the two points. An ellipsograph is a trammel of the Archimeded intended to draw cut or machine the ellipses Eg in wood or other sheet materials. INVERSION
• Elliptical trammel is an inversion of double crank
chain mechanism • A double slider crank chain contains of four links forming two sliding pairs and the two turrning pairs. • LINK 1 Frame • LINK 2 Slider 1 • LINK 3 Coupler • LINK 4 Slider 2 • Pair A-Sliding pair, link 1 and link 4 • Pair B Turning pair link 1 and link 2 • Pair C Turning pair link 2 and link 3 • Pair D Sliding pair link 3 and link 4
INVERSION OF DOUBLE SLIDER CRANK CHAIN
ELLIPTICAL TRAMMEL SCOTCH YOKE MECHANISM OLDAMS COUPLING PARTS OF TRAMMEL • The elliptical trammel consist of the following parts • Woodeb base • Sliding wooden blocks • Handle for drawing ellipse • Nails for attachment Elliptical Trammel Method • An ellipse is a squashed circle Sometimes called an oval. There are a number of ways produce one this presentation deals with the trammek method MECHANISM • The inversion is obtained by fixing link 4 mechanism so obtained is called elliptical trammel the mechism is used to draw . • The link 1 which is slidely moves in a horizontal slot of fixed link 4 the link 3 is also a slider is moves in vertical slot • Let us take OX and OY as horizontal and vertical axes and let the link BA is inclined at angle of with the horizontal • Now the coordinates of the point P on the link BA will be • X=PQ=AF cost and y=PR=BP sin t • x/AP= cos t • Similarly y/BP = sin t • On Squaring and Adding ,we get, • x^2 y^2 = cos+sin=1 • This is the equation of an elliptical trammel hence the path traced • By the point P is an ellipse whosr semi majoring axis is AF and semi minor axis. • Thr point BP coincides INVERSION OF FOUR BAR CHAIN • Beam engine • Coupling rod of locomotive • Watts indicator mechanism INVERSION OF SINGLE CYLINDER CRANK CHAIN MECHANISM • It consist of seven cylinders In one plane and all rotates about fixed Center D whenever the crank link 2is fixed in this mechanism • When the connecting rod link 4 rotates the piston link 3 • Reciprocates inside the cylindes formulating link1 • In this mechanism the inversion is obtained by fixing thd cylinder • Link four sliding pair as shown below in this case the crank Link 2 rotates • The connecting rod link 3oscillates about a pin3 pivoted to the fixed link 4 • At A the piston attachted to the piston rod link 1 reciprocates SECOND INVERSION OF DOUBLE SLIDER CRANK CHAIN MECHANISM • Second link is the original chain crank with two revolved paIrs are fixed • Second inversion is obtained • The second inversion of the double slider crank mechanism is obtained • When the two link with prismatic pairs Is fixed • X = AC • Y = BC • X=(X/AC) • Y=(Y/BC) PARTS OF TRAMMEL CRANK LINKS QUICK RETURN MECHANISM VIEWING ANGLES OF TRAMMEL ROTATARY MOTION OF ELLIPTICAL TRAMMEL INVERSION OF CRANK CHAIN • The inersion are found to the following mechanism • Oscillatary cylinder engine • Pendulum pump engine • Rotary internal combustion engine • ,Crank and slotter lever engine • Withworth quick return mechanized engine WORKING POSTIONS OF TRAMMEL Advantages • Direct conversion of rotary motion into reciprocating motion • Easy construction an operation • Can perform various operation such as cutting slotting etc • Process can be automated. • Low cost for to draw ellipse • Cost effective • Perform differenr functions Applications • It is used in automatic tool changer in a maching • Elliptical trammel are used for drawing large ellipses • They can be used to draw ellipses but only draw one half in a tme • Having to be reversed to draw the complete ellipse • By keeping sharp edged materials in the space provided on handle materials of elliptical shape can be carried out A CARPENTER DRAW OF ELLIPSE CONCLUSION • Elliptical trammel is inversion of four bar mechanism by fixing a link which to provide rotary motion to other link and by using elliptical trammel we can draw an ellipse for construction of elliptical trammell we can use wood as a material for perfect demonstration.
