Abstract

Selon l'invention, un moyeu de roue libre est configuré de sorte : qu'un état de type à quatre roues motrices soit maintenu par un élément élastique (29) pour presser une plaque de renforcement externe (15) pour un diaphragme (13); qu'un engrenage coulissant (11) soit désolidarisé d'un engrenage externe (8) par la déformation du diaphragme (13) en direction d'une chambre de pression négative côté deux roues motrices (21); et qu'un état de type à deux roues motrices soit maintenu par l'action d'un aimant (30) qui attire la plaque de renforcement externe (15). Le poids d'une partie mobile, telle que le mécanisme coulissant (11), qui se déplace avec le diaphragme (13) est réduit par élimination de matériau afin de réduire une charge générée par vibration (G), ce qui permet d'augmenter la force pour maintenir l'état de type à deux roues motrices.
