6. Final Prototype - JP

Here is the final assembly of my 6-bar window mechanism. As seen in the video, the joints move fairly smoothly. However, there is some trouble moving the joints when the toggle angles are reached. This is due to the normal force and the friction force are too much for the input crank to handle because most of the weight of the mechanism is strictly vertical instead of at an angle.

Here are pictures of the 6-bar window mechanism.
