Kicking legs continued................ |
The legs consist of wooden 2x2's (approximate dimensions below). The leg joints are just simple tongue and groove cuts joined by a #10 screws, washers and nuts. |

The power supply is mounted in a box just below the pivot arm. I used a surplus 12 volt/3 amp supply from All Electronics that cost $6.50 (I know that because the price tag is still on it). This is wired to the low speed terminals of the motor (see the wiper motor web site for details). |
Here
are some drawings that give approximate dimensions for the major parts
of the kicking legs.

To finish things off, I added wooden sides and a top as well as a sheet metal cover over the motor. These keep the pants from getting tangled in the mechanism. |
Here
are a few more pictures that may help to clairify the design:
