Abstract
A bidirectional correction mechanism for correcting the position of a first and of a second gear train, via a setting device driving a corrector pinion, including a correction lever pivoting on an arbor of the corrector pinion, which carries, meshing with the corrector pinion, a first wheel set for driving the first gear train, and a second wheel set for driving the second gear train. This mechanism includes an elastic element which, in the absence of action on the setting device, returns the correction lever to a neutral position wherein the wheel sets are uncoupled from the first and second wheel trains, and either a friction connection between the correction lever and the arbor, or a friction connection between the elastic element on the one hand, and the first wheel set and the second wheel set on the other hand.
