Abstract
A skirt located on a worm is inserted in a C-shaped hole of a photo-interrupter blade wheel, and a motor shaft passes thought the center of each of said members. The rotation of the worm is transmitted to photo-interrupter blades with a predescribed angle of play due to the relative dimensions of a notch formed on the skirt and the C-shaped hole.
