Abstract
A rotary drive device for a distributor provided with an output shaft. The drive device includes a drive element, in rotation about an axis of rotation aligned with the output shaft. An actuator with linear movement along an axis different from the axis of rotation. A coupler between the actuator with linear movement and the drive element to actuate the drive element toward the output shaft of the distributor body. A clutch to engage the axis of rotation and the output shaft.

1-28. (canceled)
A rotary drive device for a distributor in a fluid circuit, said rotary drive device comprising:
- an output shaft;
- a drive element extended by a shaft about which the drive element rotates along an axis of rotation and aligned with the output shaft;
- an actuator with a linear movement along an axis different from the axis of rotation;
- a coupler between the actuator with the linear movement and the drive element to actuate an end of the shaft of the drive element toward the output shaft;
- and
- a clutch to engage the axis of rotation and the output shaft.
A rotary device for a fluid distributor in a fluid circuit, the rotary device comprising:
- an output shaft;
- a drive element extended by a shaft about which the drive element rotates along an axis of rotation and aligned with the output shaft;
- an actuator with a linear movement along an axis different from the axis of rotation;
- a lever pivoting about a pivot, the lever connecting the actuator with the linear movement and the drive element to actuate an end of the shaft of the drive element toward the output shaft;
- and
- a coupling device using teeth and grooves or keys to engage the axis of rotation and the output shaft.
