  • the assist spring 51 is compression mounted between the up and down annular seats 59 and 54.
  • the assistance spring 51 exerts a restoring force on the pedal 19 which requests the pedal 19 to its rest position.
  • the assistance spring 51 exerts an assisting force which urges the pedal 19 towards the active disengaging position.
  • An intermediate position of the pedal 19 is defined when the first point 53 is located on the axis B-B '.
  • the additional assistance correction means 23 comprise a helical spring 61, a spring guide 63 articulated on a third point 64 of the support located at the lower end of the lower front tongue 39, and means 65 for soliciting the articulated spring. on the pedal 19 in a fourth point 66 located below the first point 53.
  • the guide 63 comprises an upper clevis 69 of articulation to the lower tongue 39, a guide sleeve 71 fixed in the yoke 69, and a sleeve 73 slidably mounted on the sleeve 71.
  • the upper yoke 69 defines, moving from the third point 64 to the fourth point 66, an annular shoulder 75 facing the pedal 19 and a stop 77 of movement of the sleeve 73 also facing the pedal 19.
  • the sleeve 71 delimits, internally, a guide channel 79 of axis C-C 'parallel to the axis connecting the points 64 and 66. It delimits externally an annular locking stop 81 of the sleeve 73 located under the abutment 77.
  • the sheath 73 comprises, at its upper left end on the Figure 2 , an inner bead 83 resting on the sleeve 71 and, at its lower free end on the right on the Figure 2 , a lower flange 85 which protrudes radially outwards facing the shoulder 75.
  • the sheath 73 is slidably movable on the sleeve 71 between an upper position in which the bead 83 bears against the upper stop 77 and a lower position in which the bead 83 is blocked by the lower stop 81.
  • the return spring 61 is mounted to compression between the lower flange 85 and the shoulder 75. It biases the sleeve 73 to its lower position.
  • the means 65 for biasing the spring comprise a lower clevis 87 and a guide rod 91 of axis C-C 'slidably mounted in the channel 79 of the sleeve 71.
  • the lower yoke 87 is thus movable between a rest position located away from the collar 85 and a biasing position of the spring 61 in which the lower yoke 87 abuts against the flange 85.
  • the assistance means 21 and the additional assistance correction means 23 form two sides facing a hinge quadrilateral 95 connecting the pedal 19 to the support 17 and delimited by the first, second, third and fourth articulation 53, 55, 64, 66.
  • the articulation quadrilateral 95 is substantially in the vertical plane of rotation of the pedal 19 around the axis A-A '.
  • the pedal 19 bears against the rear stop 33. Furthermore, the first pivot point 53 is located behind the axis B-B ', so that the assistance spring 51 exerts a biasing force complementary to the pedal 19 towards the rest position as shown by the curve 101 on the Figure 3 .
  • the assistance correction spring 61 pushes the sheath 73 downwards and keeps the bead 83 in abutment against the stop 81.
  • the lower yoke 87 is disposed away from the flange 85, so that the spring 61 exerts no force on the pedal 19 (curve 103 on the Figure 3 ).
  • the assistance spring 51 exerts a decreasing force for biasing the pedal 19 towards the rest position.
  • the first pivot point 53 passes in front of the axis B-B '.
  • the spring 51 then exerts on the pedal 19 a force comprising a component directed towards the front. This force opposes the return force exerted by the rod 15 on the lever arm 43 and assists the driver to move the pedal to the active declutching position.
  • the CC axis assist correction force generated by the additional assist correction means 23 opposes the DD axis assist force passing through the first point 53 and the second generated point 55. by means of assistance 21.
  • the additional assistance correction means 23 and the assistance means 21 thus exert, from the assistance correction position, distinct axis and direction forces on the pedal 19.
  • This adjustment is made in particular by changing the length of the sleeve 71 and the sleeve 73.
  • the intensity of the additional assistance correction force can be adjusted by changing the characteristics. of the assistance correction spring 61, independently of the characteristics of the assistance spring 51.
  • the arrangement thus makes it possible, by simple and inexpensive means, to have an arrangement 11 provided with clutch assistance means of intensity that is easily adjustable along the travel of the clutch pedal.
  • the assistance correction spring 61 creates a restoring force of the pedal 19 to the rest position which, associated with the assistance effort, has a substantially constant intensity, which allows a good dosage of the movement of the pedal 19 to the rest position and a clean lift of the clutch pedal.
  • the additional assistance correction means 23 have the same structure as the assistance means 21.
  • the assistance correction spring 61 is a spring having a first lower region 121 of substantially zero stiffness and a second upper region 123 of non-zero stiffness.
  • substantially zero stiffness means a stiffness at least 10 times less than the stiffness of the assistance spring 51 and capable of generating an elastic force intensity at least 10 times less than the maximum force generated by the rod 15 of controlling the clutch 13 on the pedal 19.
  • the two ends of the spring 61 rest on yokes hinged respectively on the third hinge point 64 and on the fourth hinge point 66.
  • the turns of region 121 are fully compressed. Beyond this position, the region 123 of non-zero stiffness is biased so that it creates a rearward non-zero assist correction force against the assist force generated by the assistance spring 51.
