Technology Page 2 MECHANISMS A mechanism is a device that changes an input motion and force into a desired output motion and force. There will be occasions when a mechanism will be needed to be used to achieve a certain sort of movement – in a moving sign, a child's toy or in a complex board game perhaps. The diagram below shows the different types of movement that may be used in the required mechanism. Linear movement Reciprocal movement Oscillating movement Rotating movement All mechanisms can be categorised into four main groups. These groupings are as follows: Levers and linkages Pulley systems Gear systems Cams, eccentrics and ratchets Input motion and force Mechanism Output motion and force LINKAGES Input motion and force Output motion and force Input motion and force Output motion and force Input motion and force Output motion and force = Linkage = Fixed pivot

Technology Page 4 PROJECT OUTLINE Situation Young children learn and develop many skills through play, whether they are interacting with other people, objects or just playing with their toys. Task As a designer it is your task to design and manufacture a toy with a mechanism to control a movement, which will help with the development of a child’s dexterity as well as being fun to use. The final product should emulate the appearance and quality of a genuine existing product of the same nature. ANALYSIS – MIND MAPPING Why do children find toys attractive? What themes are appropriate for a child's toy? What considerations must be made for a child’s toy? Date:
