DEFINITION

Classification: 242/482.6

Driven by cam-contacting lever:

(under subclass 482.4) Subject matter in which the traverse mechanism includes (1) a driven rotary member (i.e., cam), (2) a lever mounted to pivot about a fixed point, the lever engaging and sliding on a surface of the rotary member, and (3) a guide driven by the lever and engaging the material to shift it along the take-up, the rotary member, lever, and guide being so constructed and arranged that rotation of the rotary member causes the lever to oscillate about its pivot point and the guide to move along the take-up.

(1) Note. The phrase "the lever engaging and sliding on a

surface of the rotary member" is intended to include the arrangement in which a roller whose axis of rotation is fixed relative to the lever is in contact with (and may roll on) the surface of the cam.
