Abstract
A mechanism for transmitting torque between a drive shaft and an output shaft including a mechanical control element which causes an angular phase offset between the shafts. The mechanism includes a coupling element joining the shafts together. The coupling element includes a member capable of angular travel relative to a first of the shafts which, when mechanically controlled, provides the angular phase offset and control of the travel causing mutual drive of the shafts.
