Two equal length length links are connected to the opposite corners of the rhombus at one end and to a common fixed point at the other ends. In the present invention, the joint unit, the rotation unit, and the pivoting unit are coupled to each other in this order. Therefore, since the rotor of the rotation unit can rotate independently of the displacement of the tip end part of the main arm member, the displacement amount of the rotor of the rotation unit coupled to the tip end side of the main arm member can be increased, and the application of the Scott Russell mechanism device according to the present invention further expands. wherein a base end part of the main arm member and a base end part of the sub arm member that is on the opposite side from the coupling side of the sub arm member are positioned on the same virtual straight line, and a first distance from the base end part of the main arm member to a coupling position of the main arm member to the sub arm member, a second distance from the coupling position of the main arm member to a tip end part thereof, and a third distance from the base end part of the sub arm member to the coupling position are equal to each other. Thus, the degree of posturing freedom of the rotor of the rotation unit positioned to the farthest tip end increases, and the application of the Scott Russell mechanism device according to the present invention further expands. 2- Approximate straight line mechanisms:- Modified . Relative motion angles other than 90 degrees are possible by simply rotating the fixed guide. Patent Document 1 discloses a Scott Russell mechanism applied to an industrial robot. In the present invention, the pivoting of the joint unit pivotably coupled to the tip end part of the main arm member is driven by the pivot driving unit. wherein the degree of the curve of the main arm member is defined such that the second section of the main arm member becomes at a substantially parallel angle to the sub arm member when the angle changer changes the coupling angle so that the base end parts of the main arm member and the sub arm member are most separated from each other. 10.
