Abstract
A control device comprises a clutch having two parts which are respectively coupled with an input shaft and an output shaft. The input shaft carries a torque limiter having a rotating pulley coupled with a central axle by a friction member. The rotating pulley is connected to the output shaft, and the central axis is connected to the input shaft. In case of disengagemnt of the output shaft, with the input shaft always being in rotation, a limited couple is transmitted to the part of the clutch coupled to the output shaft through the torque limiter in order to cause the part to attain a given position on abutment.
