Its inversion of a double slider mechanism in which connecting rod is fixed.

LITTLE INSIGHT- in this(SCOTCH YOKE) a simple rotational motion is converted to harmonic to and fro motion . While in SLIDER CRANK mechanism the rotational motion is converted to periodic motion which tends to SHM when connecting rod length of slider crank mechanism tends to infinity.

@vinodlovescad you deserve it :D

Thank you for your visual aid!

@vinodlovescad Yeah in case you didn't know...Your spontaneous popularity sprouted from this mechanism's involvement in the racheting and retracting motion of a switch blade.

It's a mathmatical pure form as the slider moves with the cosine of the shaft rotation. SEXY!
