Abstract
A safety device for a striking-work including a first wheel, a second wheel and an actuating member. The first wheel is meshed which drives it in rotation about a shaft and it includes an abutment member. The second wheel is also in rotation about the shaft and is in contact with the abutment member. The second wheel includes a portion configured for an actuating member to act on the intermediate portion so as to move the second wheel.
