Abstract
In this chapter, we consider a special kind of overconstrained \(6\)R closed linkages which we call sharp linkages. These are linkages with the property that their bond diagram looks like a \(\sharp \) sign. We give a construction of this linkage using the bond theory and motion polynomial factorization methods. These two methods are introduced recently in [6, 7]. Another type of 6R linkages is also introduced. To my knowledge, both types of linkages are new.

One can check that \(L_c\) does not fulfill the necessary conditions of Waldrons double Bennett hybrid, Dietmaier 6R linkages or Bricard plane symmetric 6R linkages as an exercise.
