The needle is ‘atuched through a needle bar on a armature bar which is tracted by electromagnetic assembly. from rea to front ‘ascending angled staelike milled Yoke supports the eletro- ‘agnetical assembly, which consists of ane lower and one hheigher coil. A spring mouat with an adequate angle is mounted to the side plates. An inversely proportional beat ‘armature bur levels that before mentioned angle. The arma ture bars attached through a spring to the spring mount, The angle ofthe set-up procures the oscillating aematuce bar with ‘both forth and downward motion, following a socalled are srinciple. Theair gap between the front cil and the armamnre bar is eflectvely smaller. The nce hits the skin notin a straight motion but ina diving motion. Thus the resistance of the skin is easier to overcome —_> BACKWARDPatent Application Publication Aug. 21, 2008 Sheet 1 of 2 US 2008/0200942 AI v1eeBe BACKWARD FORWARD~#: FIGIA “Patent Application Publication Aug. 21, 2008 Sheet 2 of 2 US 2008/0200942 AI +-----: mee w ee ne eee nennneenenaee aeen ee FORWARD BACKWARD Fig.2A :US 2008/0200942 AI OBLIQUE TATTOO MACHINE, (CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED "APPLICATIONS, 0001} Not Applicable STATEMENT TO RELATED APPLICATIONS 0002] | Not Applicable STATEMENT REGARDING FEDERALLY SPONSORED RESEARCH OR DEVELOPMENT 10003] Not Applicable ‘THE NAMES AND PARTIES TOA JOINT RESEARCH AGREEMENT 10004} Not Applicable INCORPORATION-BY:REFERENCE OF MATERIAL SUBMITTED ON.
