Abstract
The coupling wheel () is brought into friction with an intermediate second wheel (), or, conversely, to moved away therefrom by a fork () formed in the large arm () of an L-shaped coupling spring (), articulated at the joining portion of the two arms () on an adjustment plate (), the small arm () of said coupling spring () having its end stressed by the end of a control lever (). Means for guiding () and positioning by a cam screw () allow the distance between the small arm () of the coupling spring () and the end of the control lever () to be modified, which thus allows manufacturing tolerances to be compensated for.
