Definitions:
In the range of planar mechanisms, the simplest group of lower pair mechanisms
are four bar linkages. A four bar linkage comprises four bar-shaped links and four
turning pairs as shown in figure
Some important concepts in link mechanisms are:
1. Crank: A side link which revolves relative to the frame is called a crank
2. Rocker: A side link which does not revolve is called a rocker.
3. Coupler: The link which connect the crank and rocker are called as coupler
4. Coupler: The link which connect the crank and rocker are called as coupler
5. Rocker-Crank Mechanism: if the shortest link is the output link (follower) then
the mechanism known as Rocker-Crank Mechanism.
6. Rocker-Crank Mechanism: if the shortest link is the output link (follower) then
the mechanism known as Rocker-Crank Mechanism.
7. Double-Rocker mechanism: In a four bar linkage, if both of the side links rock,
it is known as Double-Rocker Mechanism where the shortest link is the
floating link (coupler).

DEGREE OF FREEDOM
Degree of freedom for the box transfer mechanisum is 1
According to kutzback’s equation
F = 3(L - 1) - 2J - H
Where
F = degree of freedom
L = no of link
J = no of binary joint
H = no of higher pair
Hence,
F = 3(8 - 1) - 2*10 - 0
F = 1
Therefore degree of freedom is 1

FUTURE WORK (APPLICATION):
1. Transferring the boxes from one place to another for the
requirement of worker within the industry.
2. Heavy tools easily transport to one work station to another work
station.
