"4 bar" is short for "4 bar linkage" which is pretty much just four bars connected by 4 pivots at the corners where one of the bars is static.
If you've ever watched Battlebots and have seen champ Biohazard (the very good and low flipping robot made by a former FIRST coach), it's flipping arm is a four bar linkage. The bars are certain lengths so that the path of the arm goes out and up.
