The major components of the project are three rotors, six links. The construction is simple and the model has been fabricated in an efficient way. The input is given as rotary to the primary rotor .Due to the rotation of the primary rotor, the link which is connected axially moves along the diameter of the primary rotor in a circular pattern which is connected to Watt"s straight line mechanism. The Watt"s straight line mechanism consist of three linkages, the middle link is connected to the reciprocating link, which is connected to the primary rotor, while the rocking links which are present on both sides are connected to secondary rotors of diameter less than that of the primary rotor. The secondary rotors are connected to output links which move to bring out a reciprocating motion.

Specification

FIELD OF INVENTION
The invention relate to a mechanism with which two reciprocating outputs can be obtained by using the inversion of Watt's straight lihe.mechanism.
BACKGROUND OF THE PRESENT INVENTION
Watt's linkage was described in Watt's patent specification of. 1784 for the. Watt steam engine. Watt's linkage consists of a chain of three links, two longer and equal length ones on the outside ends of the chain, connected by a short link in the middle.. The outer endpoints of the long links are fixed in place relative to each other, and otherwise the three links are free to pivot around the joints where they meet. Thus, counting the fixed-length connection between the outer endpoints as another bar, Watt's linkage is ah example of a four-bar linkage.

US 4545266 A comprise of a mechanical linkage system for generating a straight line and useful as a guidance mechanism utilizing links which do not cross-over in the motion generated. A rigid bell crank member has a center pivot connection to a first suspension link, a second pivot connection to a substantially linear guide mechanism, and a third pivot connection to an output point, the dimensions of said link, the distance between said center pivot connection and said guide mechanism, and between said center pivot and said output point are generally equal.
US 7223563 B2 has an approximate straight-line mechanism that is connected to the connecting portion connecting the piston and the connecting link regulates the movement of the connecting portion such that it moves in an approximately straight line along the axial center line of the cylinder. In one aspect, the engaging ends of multiple nearly-straight links, as well as the engaging end of the nearly-straight link that engages with the connecting portion connecting the piston and the connecting link, constitute a single-side-support construction that enables the nearly-straight links to be rotatable connected while engaging from a prescribed direction.
US 5943987 A is a reciprocating drive system in a reciprocating piston engine with adjacent cylinders in the crankshaft direction in an engine case is particularly directed to an internal-combustion engine which comprises a reciprocating drive system for the reciprocating pistons with a hypocycloidal straight-line mechanism. The mechanism has a guide cooperating with guide surfaces arranged on the engine case. For simplifying the system as much as possible, the element of the straight-line mechanism is arranged between the piston links for reciprocating pistons of cylinders adjacent in a bank and is optionally adjustable.

OBJECTIVE
The objective of the invention is to produce two outputs when an input is supplied. In this invention two reciprocating motions are produced as output when a linear motion is applied to the midpoint of the middle link of watt's linkage (01).
Instead of using individual mechanisms, for multi reciprocating operations our invention can be used as unique mechanism for more than one output reciprocating motion. For example, our inversion can be used in shaper machines, punching machines, which requires reciprocating motion as an output.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Watt's linkage (16) or Watt's mechanism is a widely used in the field of mechanical engineering. Watt's mechanism is a straight line mechanism.
Watt's mechanism comprises of three links (12, 13, 14). These three links are connected as a chain. Two outside bars are of the same length. A small link (12) connected in the middle. This link (12) is free to rotate on both pivot. It forms the structure of Watt's mechanism. Both longer links of the linkage are fixed relative to each other. Actually Watt's mechanism comes under four bar linkage. Fixed length between the fixed links makes this a four bar linkage mechanism
The midpoint of the middle link (12) in Watt's linkage mechanism is constrained. Middle point moves only in a straight line. Consider allowing Watt's mechanism to work without any limitations. The shape we obtain

from Watt's mechanism arrangement is actually a traced out path of curve as an 'eight'. The traced curve 'Eight* here is slightly inclined. This makes some part to be a straight line. Watt's mechanism works only on a specific area of curve '8'. The center of the middle link (12) always moves in a straight line. By this way rotational motion is transformed into linear motion in Watt's straight line mechanism.
In our invention straight line motion is induced to the midpoint of the middle link (12) by using reciprocating motion and the end links (13,14) oscillates relative to the middle link (12) and two reciprocating motion is obtained using the output link (15, 16)
THE OVERALL ASSEMBLY WORKS AS FOLLOWS
The mechanism comprises of a straight line generator and a crank. The Watt's straight line mechanism consist of three links ,the main link (13) is connected to the link (12) in the primary rotor (21) while the other rocking links (14,15) which are present on either sides are connected to two other secondary rotor (22,23) of diameter less than that of the primary rotor(21).The secondary rotors (22,23) are connected to output links(07,16) which move along with the secondary rotor(22,23) to bring out a reciprocating motion.
When the rotary motion is given to the primary rotor(21), the reciprocating link(ll) connected-with the primary rotor(21) gets reciprocated, further, the reciprocating motion is converted to oscillating motion into the secondary rotors(22,23).Finally the oscillation motion in the secondary rotors(22,23) is converted into reciprocating motion by means of output links(15,16) connected to the secondary rotors(22,23).

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE MECHANISM
The following description details the preferred embodiments of the disclosed invention, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited in its application to the details of construction and arrangement of the parts illustrated in the accompanying drawings, but includes all variations and modifications within the scope of claims.
LINKS (11,12,13,14,15,16)
A mechanical linkage is an assembly of bodies connected to manage forces and movement. The movement of a body, or link, is studied using geometry so the link is considered to be rigid. The connections between links are modeled as providing ideal movement, pure rotation or sliding as an example, and are called joints. A linkage modeled as a network of rigid links and ideal joints is called a kinematic chain.
Here,
Link 11-Inputs reciprocating motion into the midpoint of the link (12).
Link 12- The midpoint of this link traces the straight line motion.
Link 13, 14 - Produces rocking motion relative to the middle link (12).
Link 15, 16 - Output links which produces reciprocating motion
ROTOR (21,22,23)
Rotor, a mechanical device which rotates around an axis. Primary rotor 21- Rotates to give rotary motion to the middle link (12), Secondary rotor 22, 23- Oscillates to give reciprocating motion to the output link(15,16)

SLIDER CRANK MECHANISM
The Slider-crank mechanism is used to transform rotational motion into translational motion by means of a rotating driving beam, a connection link and a sliding body. In the present example, a flexible body is used for the connection link. The sliding mass is not allowed to rotate and three revolute joints are used to connect the bodies.
