Robinson Rotors

The rotor teeters about the teetering hinge in the middle. The coning hinges simply allow the rotor to cone and hence reduces blade bending loads and control loads.

If you do a search on the US Patent site you'll find Frank Robinsons original patent (and explanation) of the design and how it works.

Hope this helps
