ACCELERATION GENERATOR AND PSEUDO FORCE SENSE GENERATOR
First Claim
1. An acceleration generator, comprising:
- a moving member that performs a periodic translational motion along a particular straight line;
a first operating part that generates a first force in a direction parallel to said particular straight line and applies the first force to said moving member in the direction parallel to said particular straight line; and
a second operating part that generates a second force in a direction parallel to said particular straight line and applies the second force to said moving member in the direction parallel to said particular straight line,wherein the magnitude of said first force varies with the relative position of said moving member with respect to the supporting point of said first operating part,the magnitude of said second force varies with the relative position of said moving member with respect to the supporting point of said second operating part, andsupposing that one of the directions parallel to said particular straight line is a positive direction, and the direction opposite to the positive direction is a negative direction, said moving member performs a translational motion in which the temporal change of the acceleration of said moving member in one period is asymmetric and varies depending on whether the acceleration occurs in the positive direction or the negative direction.

Abstract
An acceleration generator 20 includes: a moving member (21, 25) that performs a periodic translational motion along a particular straight line; a first operating part (24) that applies a first force that varies in magnitude depending on the relative position thereof with respect to the moving member to the moving member in a direction parallel to the particular straight line; and a second operating part (27) that applies a second force that varies in magnitude depending on the relative position thereof with respect to the moving member to the moving member in a direction parallel to the particular straight line. The moving member performs a translational motion in which the acceleration thereof in the positive direction and the acceleration thereof in the negative direction are asymmetric in one period.

14. A pseudo force sense generator, comprising:
-
a rotary input shaft to which a rotational motive force is applied; a motive force transmitter that converts the rotational motive force applied to said rotary input shaft into a periodic translational motion along a particular straight line; a moving member that performs a periodic translational motion along said particular straight line under the motive force transmitted by said motive force transmitter; and a symmetric part that is configured to be symmetric to said motive force transmitter, wherein supposing that one of the directions parallel to said particular straight line is a positive direction, and the direction opposite to the positive direction is a negative direction, said moving member performs a translational motion in which the temporal change of the acceleration of said moving member in one period is asymmetric and varies depending on whether the acceleration occurs in the positive direction or the negative direction, and the total sum of the force vectors generated by said motive force transmitter and said symmetric part is zero, at all times, in the directions except the directions parallel to said particular straight line.
