Abstract

The end zones (11) of the C-springs (9) of the resilient device for the centering and coupling with backlash of first (1) and second (7) coaxial rotary components form lugs (12) extending radially inward in order to cooperate with stop surfaces (15) in the first rotary component (1), and external shoulders (19) in order to cooperate with facing shoulders (18) formed in the inside wall (16) of the second rotary component (7), the shoulders (18) being angularly offset from the stop surfaces (15) and substantially contiguous with the latter in projection onto the median plane (M) of the device in the centered position of the rotary components (1, 7).
