Abstract

The present invention relates to an adjustment device for adjusting the position of a fold abutment provided so as to be movable in translation along a shaft fixed on a guide plate for guiding a document to be folded. This adjustment device comprises an actuator device and a transmission device for transmitting the displacement of the actuator device to the abutment, which transmission device is constituted by a looped cable kept taut by three pulleys, with one straight portion of the cable being parallel to the side edge of the plate and connected to the abutment, and with another straight portion of the cable being connected to the actuator device.
