20080200942 | Oblique tattoo machine - A marking device with a oscillating needle. The needle is attached through a needle bar on a armature bar which is attracted by a electromagnetic assembly. A from rear to front ascending angled stair-like milled yoke supports the electromagnetical assembly, which consists of one lower and one heigher coil. A spring mount with an adequate angle is mounted to the side plates. An inversely proportional bent armature bar levels that before mentioned angle. The armature bar is attached through a spring to the spring mount. The angle of the set-up procures the oscillating armature bar with a both forth and downward motion, following a so called arc principle. The air gap between the front coil and the armature bar is effectively smaller. The needle hits the skin not in a straight motion but in a diving motion. Thus the resistance of the skin is easier to overcome. | 08-21-2008 |
