Abstract
The classification of mechanisms is reviewed and their kinematic structure and graph representation discussed. Mechanism creation based on the separation of structure from function is illustrated for shaft couplings and other devices. The use and significance of this procedure in mechanical design and interpretation of patents is shown.Keywords
