This assembly makes it possible to reduce the dimensions of the cam 9, since the mechanical stresses on the cam 9 are partly absorbed by the disk 2. The cam 9 thus leaves a better visibility to the vortex 100.
  • the disk 2 supports the pivoting means 3 in the center, and the transfer of the first drive means 4 to the outside makes it possible to avoid the presence of the connecting arms of these elements together.
  • the disk 2 advantageously supports the indications and graduations 8, 80, 81, which are necessary for the display related to the function in question, while nevertheless ensuring a sufficient transparency to observe the mechanism.
  • the invention allows good visibility of components located under other components.
  • the invention also makes it possible to significantly improve the rigidity of very fine components, especially in skeletal movements.
