Abstract

L'invention concerne un dispositif présentant une structure simplifiée et plus compacte, servant à modifier le rayon de giration d'un bras de manivelle au moyen des forces naturelles s'exerçant sur un mécanisme de manivelle pour modifier la position du centre de giration. Ce dispositif permet également de réduire la puissance motrice nécessaire pour déplacer un arbre de couplage. Ce dispositif de modification de rayon de giration (10) comprend : un support (3) fixé sur un arbre d'entraînement (21) pour recevoir la force rotative transmise par l'arbre ; un bras de manivelle (1) soutenu par le support (3) de sorte à effectuer un mouvement de va-et-vient par rapport au support (3), et qui transmet la force rotative s'exerçant sur le support (3) lorsqu'il pivote avec ce dernier (3) ; et un moyen de modification (4) destiné à modifier la position fixe du bras de manivelle (1) par rapport au support (3). Ce moyen de modification (4) comprend des éléments de contact (41,42) soutenus par le support (3) de sorte à pouvoir se déplacer, un élément de sollicitation (45) destiné à solliciter les moyens de contact (41,42) dans le sens de venue en contact avec le bras de manivelle (1), ainsi qu'un moyen de déplacement (43) servant à déplacer les moyens de contact (41,42) dans le sens de séparation du bras de manivelle (1) par résistance à la force de sollicitation de l'élément de sollicitation (45).
