Abstract

The fixed flange with an inner toothing and the mobile flange with an inner toothing cooperate with a double satellite mounted in a ball bearing forming inside a housing for a composite cam. A sufficient excentration is provided between the diameter of the toothings of the double satellite and the intermediate part concentrical to the toothings of the fixed and mobile flanges so as to allow the composite cam made of two symmetrical and identical parts normally separated from one another at their upper portion by a spring which is slightly under tension and at their lower portion by a finger rigidly connected to an intermediate circular part mounted in bearing in the mobile and fixed flanges.
