  • a so-called compression spring 1 is mounted around the rods 8, 9 supported by one of its ends on one of the cranks 4 via a so-called first base 11, which is supported by the one of its faces 11a, on the corresponding axis 6, at a location between the two crank members 4a, 5a, and at its opposite end 1b, on the other 5 of the cranks, via a second base 12 bears on the axis 7 associated with this crank, between the two elements 5a, 5b of this crank.
  • the bases 11,12 comprise for this purpose two notches 13,14 intended to cooperate respectively with two recesses 15,16 provided on the corresponding axis 6,7.
  • This device also comprises, associated with each of the bases, two metallic support washers 17, 18 intended to be interposed each between a bearing face 11b, 12b of the base and the corresponding end of the spring 1.
  • each connecting rod comprises at one of its ends, a closed eyelet or oblong orifice 20, and at its opposite end, an eyelet or open oblong orifice 21, these two oblong orifices being intended to cooperate each with the axis 6.7 located on the side of said orifice, this axis being different for each orifice.
  • the bases 11,12 bear on the corresponding axes 6,7 between the two crank elements 4a, 4b; 5a, 5b and the rods cooperate with the axis portions located between the two aforementioned recesses 15,16 provided on the corresponding axis.
  • the guiding device comprises means for allowing the sliding guide of the two connecting rods relative to each other while maintaining a certain functional clearance between the two connecting rods.
  • these two rods are made of a metallic material and are held at a certain clearance relative to one another by two sets each comprising a rivet 22 and a spacer 23, said rivet 22 and said spacer 23 passing through an oblong opening 24 provided in one of the rods and an orifice 25 provided in the other of the rods so as to allow relative sliding between these two rods by displacement of the spacer inside the groove, the functional clearance between these two connecting rods being guaranteed by the presence of the spacers.
  • the two bases are made of plastic, this base having the function of putting the spring in abutment on the axis and the centering of the spring relative to the two connecting rods.
  • the two connecting rods 8, 9 are firstly fixed relative to one another by means of rivets 22 and spacers 23. Then, the two bases 11 , 12 and their washers associated 17,18 are threaded on the rods respectively by the two free ends of these rods after having previously mounted the compression spring 1 around the rods. Then, the pins 6,7 are mounted in the orifices provided for this purpose in the crank elements 4a, 4b; 5a, 5b and at the same time in the corresponding oblong orifices 20,21 of the connecting rods after having brought the two corresponding ends of the connecting rods between the two crank elements 4a, 4b, 5a, 5b. Then, the two bases 11, 12 are brought to bear on the pins 6, 7 during the extension of the compression spring 1.
  • these two rods are advantageously made of a plastic material and the two bases.
  • These two links have in section in a plane extending substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the connecting rods, a half-moon shape ( figure 10 ).
  • these two links form in section a circle whose outer surface 28 cooperates with an inner surface of tubular shape 27 of the corresponding base so that the base performs sliding guidance of these rods.
  • the bases perform sliding guide functions, centering the compression spring relative to the two connecting rods and the spring support surface.
  • the sliding guide rods is carried out in addition to the bases as previously explained, by means of a slide 26 forming a shoe advantageously made of plastic and interposed between the two connecting rods so as to perform this sliding guide function relative of these two connecting rods.
  • this guide device is carried out in the same manner as for the first embodiment, except that the mounting of the rivets and the spacer is replaced by the mounting of the slideway 26 between the two connecting rods. .
  • the guiding device is in the decompressed position of the spring 1 after a maneuver of the so-called first crank of the shaft Switch 2.
  • one of the shafts 6 associated with one of the cranks 4 is introduced into the closed eyelet 20 of one 8 connecting rods, while the other 7 of the two axes, associated with the other of the cranks 5, is introduced into the closed eyelet of the other rod 9.
  • the axes 6.7 are in abutment against the inner walls of the eyelets, said walls being located at the outer ends 20a, 20b of said eyelets.
  • the two axes are no longer inside the open eyelets 21.
  • the axis 6 associated with the crank 4 moves, which causes the displacement of the corresponding base 11, the latter sliding relative to the rods 8, 9, and the compression of the spring 1.
  • This axis 6 moves inside the closed eyelet 20 of the rod 9 and the open eyelet 21 of the connecting rod 8 until reaching the inner end 20a of the rod 9, 21b of the connecting rod 8 of these two eyelets. During this movement, the two rods move relative to each other closer.
  • the closed eyelet 20 of the connecting rod 8 and the open eyelet 21 of the connecting rod 9 move relative to the axis 7, which is not in movement until this axis 7 reaches the inner ends of the eyelets 20b of the connecting rod 8 and 21b of the connecting rod 9.
  • this spring drives the base 11 in a sliding movement relative to the two rods 8,9 in a direction away from one of the 'other. It follows a displacement of the axis 6 in a direction away from the two axes 6,7 from one another. This has the effect, the axis 6 coming into abutment against the face 20b of the connecting rod 9, to cause the relative displacement in sliding of the two connecting rods 8,9 relative to the other, thereby lengthening the assembly constituted by the two connecting rods, away from one another.
  • This guiding device has the advantage of eliminating the occurrence of bracing phenomena. This makes it possible to increase the number of maneuvers of a control mechanism, in particular a mechanism whose entire power chain consists exclusively of composite materials.
  • plastic parts in a device according to the invention allows the spring guide to be integrated into the existing mechanisms in which the entire power chain is exclusively composed of composite material.
