  • the position C shown in Figure 5c, in which the terminals 45 are not in contact with any other allows the opening of the motor supply circuit.
  • the shaft 2 and the slide 100 may also have no electrical contact and consist of simple transmission elements acting by rotation or by translation to position a switch, for example integrated in the motor, depending on the position of the shaft 6 in drawer 1.
  • the slide 1 is slidably connected in the sleeve 9. Its translation axis is perpendicular to the axis of rotation 7 of the shaft 2 or perpendicular to the translation axis of the slide 100.
  • the slide 1 and the sleeve 9 present respectively an ear 12 and an ear 11, each provided with a hole. The ends of a spring 8 to recall the drawer 1 at the bottom of the sleeve 9 are articulated in these holes.
  • the drawer 1 has another lug 13 opposite the ear 12.
  • This lug 13 is also provided with a hole from which, as shown in Figures 1 and 3, it is possible, by means of a rod 14 applying traction forces to the drawer 1 so as to move the latter in translation against the action of the return spring 8.
  • the drawer 1 has two paths 20a, 20b symmetrical with respect to the translation axis of the drawer and having substantially the shape of inverted V.
  • the drawer also has a chamber 21. These paths and this chamber are dug in the drawer.
  • the tree 6 is constrained to move in these paths and in this room.
  • the drawer has, in the chamber 21, three areas referenced a, b and c to which the shaft 6 is intended to be moved by the action of the user on the drawer 1.
  • the zones a, b and c respectively correspond to to sets of positions of the shaft 6 in which the switching means occupy respectively their extreme position A, their extreme position B or their intermediate position C.
  • the first wings 120a and 120b V formed by the paths 20a and 20b are used to move the shaft transversely relative to the drawer when it is moved away from its rest position while the shaft 6 was in the area c.
  • the other wings 121a and 121b of V constituted by the paths 20a and 20b are used to move the shaft transversely relative to the drawer when it is returned to its rest position.
  • the path 20a has an elastic tongue 51a hinged at the bottom of the path 20a. bottom of the side wing of the path. This tongue is articulated perpendicularly to the local direction of the path 20a.
  • the raised edge 52a of this tab prohibits the flow from the bottom to the top of the shaft in the lateral wing of the path 20a. When the shaft 6 comes into contact with this raised edge, the latter deflects it towards a central position.

  • the joints between the tongues and the slide are preferably made by bending the tongue at its connection to the slide.
  • the drawer 1 has a rocker 15 movable in rotation about an axis perpendicular to the bottom of the paths.
  • This rocker 15 has two stable positions symmetrical with respect to the axis of translation of the slide 1. It consists of two lateral arms and a central arm. As shown in FIG. 2, it makes it possible to direct the shaft in the path 20a, thanks to the contact of the shaft 6 on its central arm, then it switches to its other stable position at the moment of the passage of the shaft 6 in the path 20a by contact of the shaft 6 on its side arm closing the path 20a. In this way, during the next passage of the shaft 6, it is directed in the path 20b.
  • the transverse displacements of the shaft 6 in the paths 20a and 20b of the spool 1 cause rotations of the shaft 2 or translations of the slider 100 in the frame 10 so as to cause the motor to be powered to rotate in a first direction, or feeding the motor to turn it in a second direction or stopping the engine.
  • the drawer comprises three zones a, b and c shown in FIG. which the shaft has a position such that the switching means are respectively extreme position A, extreme position B or intermediate position C.
  • the drawer 1 is driven by the spring 8 exerting a return force R and resulting in the contacting of the shaft 6 with the ramp 23a.
  • the shaft moves along this ramp 23a to be in the position shown in Figure 6e.
  • the spring 8 always applying a return force, the shaft 6 moves by crossing the tongue 51 a. This crossing is done by elastic deformation of the tongue. Once the tab has passed the shaft moves until it reaches the stable position shown in Figure 6f. With the shaft in this position, the motor is powered and rotates in a first direction of rotation.
  • the shaft 6 comes into contact with the raised edge 52a of the elastic tongue and moves against it and then comes in contact against a ramp 25a and moves against it to its end as shown in Figure 6h.
  • the resilient tongue 51a and, in particular, its raised edge 52a constitute a means for permanently deflecting the shaft heading to the path 20a above the tongue.
  • the shaft 6 follows a path symmetrical, with respect to the axis of sliding of the slide, to the path described in Figures 6b to 6h resulting in a different power supply of the motor so as to rotate in a second sense of rotation.
  • the switching means being in an extreme position, a return movement of the spool of a distance D causes the displacement of the switching means in the other end position.
  • the intermediate position C During the displacement of the switching means from one extreme position to the other, they pass, unstably, by the intermediate position C.
  • the motor supply is by therefore cut a brief moment between two phases of supply of the engine to rotate it in opposite directions.
  • FIGS. 7a to 7h showing the path followed by the shaft 6 during successive actions on the rod 14, the actions on the spool alternately causing its displacement by a distance D corresponding to the maximum allowable stroke by the spindle 14.
  • drawer when the shaft moves inside thereof
  • d corresponding to the travel required to bring the shaft 6 only in contact with the lever 15 from the rest position of the drawer .
  • the drawer is then moved back and forth by a distance d.
  • the shaft 6 then comes into contact with the raised edge 52a of the elastic tongue and moves against it and then comes into contact with a ramp 25a and moves against it until its end as shown in FIG. 6h. .
  • the movement of the drawer is reversed (the amplitude d of movement is reached) and the shaft moves vertically relative to the drawer until reaching the position shown in Figure 7a.
  • the movement of the slide can be prolonged until the shaft 6 comes into contact with the rocker 15. Resistance to the rotation of the rocker 15 can allow the user to feel when the shaft 6 arrives in contact against the rocker 15 and be so informed that, in case it relaxes its force, the shaft is brought into its position shown in Figure 7a in which the motor is not powered.
  • a new action of the user causing a displacement of return of the amplitude slide D has the effect of bringing the shaft into the zone b and to supply the motor accordingly to rotate in a second direction of rotation.
