Abstract
A transmission device for transmitting a movement includes a screw extending along an axis, a nut, a housing, a first elastic member, a second elastic member, —a first assembly, a second assembly, a first axial stop, and a second axial stop. The first elastic member is able to be deformed independently of the second elastic member under the effect of a first axial force, and the second elastic member is able to be deformed independently of the first elastic member under the effect of a second axial force which exceeds a second threshold.
Claims12
Transmission device for transmitting a movement, the device comprising:
- a screw extending along an axis;
- a nut cooperating with the screw;
- a housing;
- a first elastic member;
- a second elastic member;
- a first assembly comprising said nut;
- a second assembly comprising said housing;
- a first axial stop which is axially integral with the first assembly and able to cooperate with a first complementary axial stop of the second assembly, a first axial clearance being formed between the first axial stop and the first complementary axial stop;
- and
- a second axial stop which is axially integral with the first assembly and able to cooperate with a second complementary axial stop of the second assembly, a second axial clearance being formed between the second axial stop and the second complementary axial stop;
- the first elastic member being able to be deformed independently of the second elastic member under the effect of a first axial force oriented in a first direction and applied by the first assembly on the first elastic member, so as to reduce the first axial clearance, the first axial stop being able to come to bear against the first complementary axial stop when said first axial force exceeds a first threshold,
- the second elastic member being able to be deformed independently of the first elastic member under the effect of a second axial force oriented in a second direction opposite to the first direction and applied by the first assembly on the second elastic member, so as to reduce the second axial clearance, the second axial stop being able to come to bear against the second complementary axial stop when said second axial force exceeds a second threshold.
