Examples of mechanical linkages


 In an earlier video, we discussed key terms and some applications of linkage. 


Let us explore everyday examples based on linkage. 


Video here covers the following

Cloth Drying Rack


Wall Mounted Foldable Cloth Drying Rack is based on linkage. Mechanism can be better understood by simulating it. I used Linkage software for the same. Learnings from this activity can be used to build a small prototype as well. 


  1. Pantograph
  2. Folding chairs
  3. Elevator doors
  4. Bus doors
  5. Safety door
  6. Crane
  7. Pen Stands
  8. Stapler






Similar prototypes can be built for other applications as well using straws, needles, icecream sticks, paper strips and acrylic. 


Do give it a try.
