Hoecken linkage
The Hoecken linkage[1] is a four-bar linkage that converts rotational motion to approximate straight-line motion. It is named after Karl Hoecken (1874−1962).[1]

The Hoeckens linkage is a cognate linkage of the Chebyshev linkage and Chebyshev's Lambda Mechanism.
The linkage was first published in 1926.[2][3]
A generalization of the Hoecken linkage is Wittgenstein's rod.
