Abstract
The device prevents any relative translation movement in a first plane between two members moving one with regard to the other in a second plane substantially perpendicular to the first plane. Two linkages P.sub.1 P.sub.4 and P.sub.2 P.sub.3 are flexibly connected at their middle parts by members F1,F6 and a reinforced part 7. The two linkages have one of their ends connected to the first member by a fixed pivot point P.sub.1 and a movable pivot point P.sub.3, the other end of the two linkages being connected to the second member by a fixed pivot point P.sub.2 and a movable pivot point P.sub.4, the fixed pivot points and the movable pivot points being comprised of flexible portions, F.sub.1 to F.sub.4,8 and 9 of the linkages.
