Abstract
In a device for transmitting a compressive force along essentially a straight path utilizing an articulated transfer element that can bend in one direction. The transfer element has a toothed side and a back side which is turned away from the toothed side, a plurality of sequential block right projections in the longitudinal direction of the toothed belt and the block like elevations are shaped in such a way that on a straight path they lie against one another to transmit the compressive force.
