Connection device between members of a machine comprising at least one first (2) and one second (3) coupling suitable for being connected together to orientate said members of said machine in work position, the first coupling (2) comprising at least one first (4) and one second (5) toothed elements mutually mobile between an initial reference configuration and a work configuration corresponding to a predetermined orientation of said members of the machine, the second coupling (3) comprising at least two toothed elements (8, 9) fixed together with the initial configuration and mutual displacement means of the second coupling (3) with respect to the first coupling (2) suitable for taking the second coupling (3) into a connection position with the first coupling (2) once the work condition of the first coupling (2) has been reached in correspondence with a small relative displacement between the first (4) and second (5) toothed elements of the first coupling (2) equal to the difference between the sum of the pitch of two or more teeth of the first toothed element (4) of the first coupling and the sum of the pitch of two or more teeth of the second toothed element (5) of the first coupling.
Connection device between members of a machine comprising at least one first and one second coupling suitable for being connected together to orientate said members of said machine in work position, characterised in that said first coupling comprises at least one first and one second toothed elements mutually mobile between an initial reference configuration and a work configuration corresponding to a predetermined orientation of said members of said machine, said second coupling comprising at least two toothed elements fixed together with said initial configuration and mutual displacement means of said second coupling with respect to said first coupling suitable for taking said second coupling into a connection position with said first coupling once said work condition of said first coupling has been reached in correspondence with a small relative displacement between said first and second toothed elements of said first coupling equal to the difference between the sum of the pitch of two or more teeth of said first toothed element of said first coupling and the sum of the pitch of two or more teeth of said second toothed element of said first coupling.
Device according the previous claim, characterised in that said displacement means are suitable for mutually displacing said second coupling with respect to said first coupling by an amount proportional to the relative displacement of the two elements of the first coupling.
Machine tool comprising a connection device between its members comprising at least one first and one second coupling suitable for being connected together to orientate said members of said machine in work position, characterised in that said first coupling comprises at least one first and one second toothed elements mutually mobile between an initial reference configuration and a work configuration corresponding to a predetermined orientation of said members of said machine tool, said second coupling comprising at least two toothed elements fixed together with said initial configuration and displacement means of said second coupling with respect to said first coupling suitable for taking said second coupling into a connection position with said first coupling once said work condition of said first coupling has been reached in correspondence with a relative displacement between said first and second toothed elements of said first coupling equal to the difference between the sum of the pitch of two or more teeth of said first element of said first coupling and the sum of the pitch of two or more teeth of said second toothed element of said first coupling.
