Gear-Rack and Parallelogram Mechanism

Two cranks and yellow rack create a parallelogram mechanism.
Input: pink crank rotating continuously.
Output: green gear oscilating with dwells at both stroke ends. Oscilating angle depends on the crank radius and gear face widths.
Blue conrod jointing two eccentrics of the cranks is for overcoming dead positions.
Measure to keep the gear immobile during its dwells is not shown.
