Description

La présente invention concerne, selon un premier de ses aspects, un dispositif de rattrapage de dispersion dimensionnelle, destiné à rattraper des variations dimensionnelles statistiques d'un espace entre des première et seconde pièces mobiles l'une par rapport à l'autre.The present invention relates, according to a first of its aspects, a device to compensate for dispersion dimensional, intended to compensate for variations dimensional statistics of a space between first and second moving parts one relative to the other.

En particulier, l'invention concerne un dispositif qui, pour assurer cette fonction de rattrapage, comprend une embase solidaire de la première pièce, un palpeur monté sélectivement coulissant dans l'embase, suivant un axe, au moins entre une position d'engagement minimal et une position d'engagement maximal, et un ressort sollicitant élastiquement le palpeur vers sa position d'engagement minimal, l'embase et le palpeur portant des reliefs respectifs d'accrochage mutuel maintenant le palpeur par rapport à l'embase dans une position d'engagement choisie parmi une pluralité de positions d'engagement possibles, et dans laquelle la seconde pièce est en butée sur le palpeur.In particular, the invention relates to a device which, to perform this catch-up function, includes a base secured to the first part, a probe selectively mounted sliding in the base, according to a axis, at least between a minimum engagement position and a position of maximum engagement, and a spring resiliently urging the probe towards its position minimum engagement, the base and the probe carrying respective reliefs of mutual attachment now the probe in relation to the base in one position of engagement chosen from a plurality of positions possible engagement, and in which the second part is in abutment on the probe.

Un dispositif de ce type est connu du document de brevet FR 2 633 443 pour une application dans laquelle la distance minimale entre les première et seconde pièces est fixée par tout moyen adéquat, ce dispositif connu ayant pour particularité de pouvoir s'adapter à cette distance minimale indépendamment de toute incertitude que les tolérances de fabrication introduisent sur la valeur réelle de cette distance.A device of this type is known from the document of Patent FR 2,633,443 for an application in which the minimum distance between first and second parts is fixed by any suitable means, this known device having the particularity of being able to adapt to this minimum distance regardless of any uncertainty that manufacturing tolerances introduce on value real distance.

La présente invention a au contraire pour but de proposer un dispositif pour rattraper des variations dimensionnelles statistiques d'un espace entre deux pièces mobiles l'une par rapport à l'autre, qui soit conçu pour pouvoir constituer une butée réglable entre ces pièces, c'est-à-dire pour fixer de façon réglable la distance minimale entre ces pièces.The object of the present invention, on the contrary, is to propose a device to make up for variations dimensional statistics of a space between two moving parts relative to each other, which is designed to be able to constitute an adjustable stop between these parts, that is to say to adjustably fix the minimum distance between these parts.

A cette fin, le dispositif de l'invention, par ailleurs conforme à la définition générique qu'en donne le préambule ci-dessus, est essentiellement caractérisé en ce que l'embase et le palpeur présentent chacun au moins deux séries de reliefs d'accrochage s'étendant parallèlement à l'axe, régulièrement réparties angulairement autour de l'axe, et séparées par des zones neutres exemptes de reliefs d'accrochage, et en ce que l'embase et le palpeur adoptent sélectivement, par rotation relative autour de l'axe, une position angulaire d'accrochage, dans laquelle les séries de reliefs d'accrochage de l'embase et du palpeur engrènent mutuellement pour empêcher un coulissement du palpeur dans l'embase au moins dans un sens d'engagement croissant, et une position angulaire de découplage, dans laquelle les séries de reliefs et les zones neutres de l'embase se trouvent respectivement en regard des zones neutres et des séries de reliefs du palpeur pour autoriser un libre coulissement du palpeur dans l'embase.To this end, the device of the invention, by elsewhere conforms to the generic definition given by it the preamble above, is essentially characterized in that the base and the probe each have the minus two series of snap reliefs extending parallel to the axis, evenly distributed angularly around the axis, and separated by zones neutrals free of snagging reliefs, and in that the base and the probe selectively adopt, by relative rotation about the axis, an angular position of attachment, in which the series of reliefs for attachment of the base and the probe mesh mutually to prevent sliding of the probe in the base at least in one direction of engagement increasing, and an angular decoupling position, in which the series of reliefs and the neutral zones of the base are respectively located opposite the zones neutrals and series of probe reliefs for allow free movement of the probe in the base.

De préférence, les zones neutres de l'embase et du palpeur sont formées par des cannelures lisses.Preferably, the neutral areas of the base and the feeler are formed by smooth grooves.

Le ressort peut être logé dans l'embase et disposé entre l'embase et le palpeur.The spring can be housed in the base and arranged between the base and the probe.

Il est par ailleurs possible de prévoir que l'embase présente au moins une première nervure de butée parallèle à l'axe, séparant une première série de reliefs de l'embase d'une première zone neutre de cette embase qui précède la première série de reliefs pour un premier sens de rotation autour de l'axe, que la première nervure arrête le palpeur en rotation par rapport à l'embase dans la position angulaire de découplage, pour une rotation relative de premier sens du palpeur par rapport à l'embase, et que la première nervure arrête le palpeur en rotation par rapport à l'embase dans la position angulaire d'accrochage, pour une rotation relative du palpeur par rapport à l'embase de sens inverse au premier sens.It is also possible to predict that the base has at least a first abutment rib parallel to the axis, separating a first series of reliefs of the base of a first neutral zone of this base which precedes the first series of reliefs for a first direction of rotation around the axis, as the first rib stops the probe from rotating relative to the base in the decoupling angular position, for a rotation first sense relative of the probe to the base, and that the first rib stops the probe in rotation relative to the base in the position angular attachment, for a relative rotation of the feeler with respect to the base in the opposite direction to the first meaning.

Dans ce cas, le palpeur peut porter, dans chaque zone neutre, un ergot flexible radialement saillant, disposé dans une partie de cette zone neutre qui reste engagée dans l'embase pour la position d'engagement minimal du palpeur, coopérant avec une série de reliefs de l'embase dans la position angulaire d'accrochage, et venant, dans la position angulaire de découplage, buter latéralement contre une nervure et frotter radialement contre une zone neutre de l'embase.In this case, the probe can carry, in each neutral zone, a radially protruding flexible lug, arranged in a part of this neutral zone which remains engaged in the base for the engagement position minimum of the probe, cooperating with a series of reliefs the base in the angular hooking position, and coming, in the angular position of decoupling, to stop laterally against a rib and rub radially against a neutral area of the base.

Chaque série de reliefs de l'embase et du palpeur est par exemple formée de crans alignés parallèlement à l'axe, les crans du palpeur pouvant se terminer en pointe.Each series of reliefs on the base and the probe is for example formed by notches aligned parallel to the axis, the notches of the probe can end in point.

L'embase comporte avantageusement un logement de fixation défini dans un fût central creux et par lequel l'embase est fixée à la première pièce, le palpeur étant par exemple creux et guidé sur le fût central.The base advantageously comprises a housing for fixing defined in a hollow central shaft and through which the base is fixed to the first part, the probe being for example hollow and guided on the central barrel.

Le palpeur est avantageusement conformé en champignon dont une tête porte au moins un relief d'entraínement en rotation.The probe is advantageously shaped as fungus with at least one relief on its head rotational drive.

L'invention concerne également un procédé de réglage d'un dispositif de rattrapage de dispersion dimensionnelle tel que défini précédemment pour permettre un débattement relatif des première et seconde pièces sur une course de longueur déterminée, ce procédé étant caractérisé en ce qu'il comprend une opération consistant à fixer l'embase sur la première pièce, une opération consistant à placer le palpeur, par rapport à l'embase, à la fois dans sa position angulaire d'accrochage et dans sa position d'engagement maximal, une opération consistant à coiffer la tête du palpeur par une cale d'épaisseur présentant un renfoncement qui est conformé pour recevoir cette tête sans liberté de rotation et dont le fond est séparé d'une face opposée de la cale par une distance égale à la longueur déterminée, une opération consistant à imprimer au palpeur, par l'intermédiaire de la cale, une rotation le plaçant en position angulaire de découplage, une opération consistant à autoriser le ressort à déplacer le palpeur et la cale par rapport à l'embase jusqu'à ce que la face opposée de la cale touche la seconde pièce, une opération consistant à imprimer au palpeur, par l'intermédiaire de la cale, une rotation le plaçant en position angulaire d'accrochage, et une opération consistant à retirer la cale.The invention also relates to a method of adjustment of a dispersion adjustment device dimensional as defined above to allow relative travel of the first and second parts on a stroke of determined length, this process being characterized in that it comprises an operation consisting to fix the base on the first part, an operation consisting in placing the probe, relative to the base, at both in its angular hooking position and in its position of maximum engagement, an operation consisting in covering the probe head with a wedge thick with a recess which is shaped to receive this head without freedom of rotation and whose the bottom is separated from an opposite face of the wedge by a distance equal to the determined length, an operation consisting of printing on the probe, via the wedge, a rotation placing it in angular position of decoupling, an operation consisting in authorizing the spring to move the probe and the shim relative to the base until the opposite side of the shim touches the second part, an operation consisting in printing feeler, through the wedge, a rotation the placing it in the angular hooking position, and a operation consisting in removing the wedge.

Le dispositif de rattrapage de dispersion de l'invention peut être utilisé pour opérer le réglage de la course d'une pédale d'un véhicule automobile, en particulier d'une pédale d'accélérateur ce réglage constituant l'application privilégiée de ce dispositif.The dispersion adjustment device of the invention can be used to operate the adjustment of the stroke of a pedal of a motor vehicle, in particular of an accelerator pedal this setting constituting the preferred application of this device.

D'autres caractéristiques et avantages de l'invention ressortiront clairement de la description qui en est faite ci-après, à titre indicatif et nullement limitatif, en référence aux dessins annexés, dans lesquels:

Other characteristics and advantages of the invention will emerge clearly from the description which is given below, for information and in no way limitative, with reference to the appended drawings, in which:
  • Figure 1 is a sectional view of a device according to the invention;
  • Figures 2 and 3 are perspective views of the device of Figure 1, observed on a reduced scale and in two different positions;

Comme annoncé précédemment, l'invention concerne un dispositif permettant de rattraper les variations dimensionnelles statistiques d'un espace qui sépare deux pièces P1 et P2, mobiles l'une par rapport à l'autre, dans une position de rapprochement maximal de ces pièces.As previously announced, the invention relates to a device to make up for variations dimensional statistics of a space that separates two parts P1 and P2, movable relative to each other, in a position of maximum approximation of these parts.

Comme le montrent les figures 7 et 8, la première pièce P1 est par exemple constituée par le plancher d'un habitacle de véhicule automobile, et la seconde pièce P2 par une pédale d'accélérateur qui, en position d'actionnement maximal, se trouve à une distance minimale du plancher P1. As shown in Figures 7 and 8, the first room P1 is for example formed by the floor of a passenger compartment of the motor vehicle, and the second part P2 by an accelerator pedal which, in position maximum actuation, is at a minimum distance from floor P1.

Ce dispositif de rattrapage de l'invention permet de régler cette distance minimale, donc la course de la pédale P2, et comprend principalement une embase 1, un palpeur 2, et un ressort 3.This catch-up device of the invention allows to set this minimum distance, so the stroke of the P2 pedal, and mainly includes a base 1, a probe 2, and a spring 3.

Lors du réglage, le palpeur 2 peut coulisser dans l'embase 1 suivant un axe Z, et peut ainsi adopter à volonté une position d'engagement minimal (figures 1 et 2) dans laquelle la plus grande partie du palpeur reste à l'extérieur de l'embase, une position d'engagement maximal (figure 3) dans laquelle la plus grande partie du palpeur est logée à l'intérieur de l'embase, ou l'une quelconque d'un ensemble de positions intermédiaires entre ces positions d'engagement minimal et maximal.When adjusting, probe 2 can slide in the base 1 along an axis Z, and can thus adopt will a minimum engagement position (Figures 1 and 2) in which most of the probe remains at outside the base, an engagement position maximum (Figure 3) in which most of the probe is housed inside the base, or one any of a set of intermediate positions between these minimum and maximum engagement positions.

Le ressort 3, par exemple constitué par un ressort hélicoïdal et de préférence logé dans l'embase 1, entre l'embase 1 et le palpeur 2, a quant à lui pour fonction de solliciter élastiquement le palpeur 2 vers sa position d'engagement minimal.Spring 3, for example constituted by a spring helical and preferably housed in the base 1, between the base 1 and the probe 2, has for its function to elastically urge the probe 2 towards its position minimum engagement.

L'embase 1 et le palpeur 2 portent des reliefs respectifs d'accrochage mutuel, 111 et 222, ces reliefs permettant, une fois le réglage effectué, de maintenir le palpeur 2 par rapport à l'embase 1 dans une position d'engagement qui est choisie parmi l'ensemble des positions d'engagement possibles, et dans laquelle la seconde pièce P2 est en butée sur le palpeur 2.The base 1 and the probe 2 carry reliefs respective mutual attachment, 111 and 222, these reliefs allowing, once the adjustment has been made, to maintain the probe 2 relative to base 1 in one position of engagement which is chosen from among all possible engagement positions, and in which the second part P2 is in abutment on the probe 2.

Selon l'invention, l'embase 1 et le palpeur 2 présentent chacun au moins deux séries de reliefs d'accrochage séparées par des zones neutres exemptes de reliefs d'accrochage, et sont mobiles en rotation l'un par rapport à l'autre.According to the invention, the base 1 and the probe 2 each have at least two series of reliefs attachment separated by neutral zones free of hooking reliefs, and are movable in rotation one compared to each other.

Par exemple, l'embase 1 présente trois séries, telles que 11A et 11B, de reliefs d'accrochage 111, ces séries s'étendant parallèlement à l'axe Z, étant régulièrement réparties angulairement autour de l'axe Z, et étant séparées par des zones neutres telles que 10A et 10B prenant la forme préférée de cannelures lisses, exemptes de reliefs d'accrochage. For example, the base 1 has three series, such as 11A and 11B, of attachment reliefs 111, these series extending parallel to the Z axis, being regularly distributed angularly around the Z axis, and being separated by neutral areas such as 10A and 10B taking the preferred form of smooth grooves, free of snagging reliefs.

De même, le palpeur 2 présente trois séries, telles que 22A et 22B, de reliefs d'accrochage 222, ces séries s'étendant parallèlement à l'axe Z, étant régulièrement réparties angulairement autour de l'axe Z, et étant séparées par des zones neutres telles que 20A et 20B prenant la forme préférée de cannelures lisses, exemptes de reliefs d'accrochage.Similarly, probe 2 has three series, such that 22A and 22B, of catching reliefs 222, these series extending parallel to the Z axis, being regularly angularly distributed around the Z axis, and being separated by neutral zones such as 20A and 20B taking the preferred form of smooth, free grooves of hanging reliefs.

L'embase 1 et le palpeur 2 peuvent ainsi adopter à volonté, par rotation relative autour de l'axe Z, une position angulaire d'accrochage et une position angulaire de découplage.The base 1 and the probe 2 can thus adopt will, by relative rotation around the Z axis, a angular hooking position and an angular position decoupling.

Dans la position angulaire d'accrochage de l'embase 1 et du palpeur 2, les séries respectives, telles que 11A, 11B et 22A, 22B, de reliefs d'accrochage de l'embase 1 et du palpeur 2 engrènent mutuellement pour empêcher un coulissement du palpeur 2 dans l'embase 1, au moins dans le sens d'un enfoncement du palpeur 2 dans l'embase 1.In the angular position of attachment of the base 1 and probe 2, the respective series, such as 11A, 11B and 22A, 22B, of mounting attachment reliefs 1 and probe 2 mesh with each other to prevent a sliding of the probe 2 in the base 1, at least in the direction of insertion of the probe 2 into the base 1.

Dans la position angulaire de découplage de l'embase 1 et du palpeur 2, les séries 11A et 11B de reliefs d'accrochage de l'embase 1 et les zones neutres 10A et 10B de cette embase se trouvent respectivement en regard des zones neutres 20A et 20B et des séries 22A et 22B de reliefs d'accrochage du palpeur 2, cette configuration permettant le libre coulissement du palpeur 2 dans l'embase 1.In the angular decoupling position of base 1 and probe 2, 11A and 11B series of attachment reliefs of base 1 and neutral zones 10A and 10B of this base are respectively in look at neutral zones 20A and 20B and series 22A and 22B of probe 2 attachment reliefs, this configuration allowing the probe to slide freely 2 in base 1.

Comme le montrent les figures 2 et 4, l'embase 1 présente des nervures de butée, telles que 12A, dont chacune s'étend parallèlement à l'axe Z entre une série de reliefs d'accrochage de l'embase et une zone neutre adjacente.As shown in Figures 2 and 4, the base 1 has stop ribs, such as 12A, of which each extends parallel to the Z axis between a series embedding reliefs of the base and a neutral zone adjacent.

Par exemple, la nervure 12A (figure 2) sépare une série 11A de reliefs d'accrochage de l'embase 1 d'une zone neutre 10A de cette embase 1 qui précède la série 11A de reliefs, pour un premier sens S1 de rotation autour de l'axe Z.For example, the rib 12A (FIG. 2) separates a 11A series of reliefs for attaching the base 1 of a neutral zone 10A of this base 1 which precedes the series 11A of reliefs, for a first direction S1 of rotation around the Z axis.

Dans ces conditions, la nervure 12A arrête le palpeur 2 en rotation par rapport à l'embase 1 dans la position angulaire de découplage pour une rotation relative de premier sens S1 du palpeur 2 par rapport à l'embase 1, et cette même nervure 12A arrête le palpeur 2 en rotation par rapport à l'embase 1 dans la position angulaire d'accrochage pour une rotation relative du palpeur 2 par rapport à l'embase 1 de sens S2, inverse au premier sens S1.Under these conditions, the rib 12A stops the probe 2 in rotation relative to the base 1 in the decoupling angular position for rotation first sense relative S1 of probe 2 relative to the base 1, and this same rib 12A stops the probe 2 in rotation relative to the base 1 in the position angular attachment for a relative rotation of the probe 2 relative to base 1 in direction S2, opposite to first direction S1.

Comme le montre la figure 5, le palpeur 2 porte un ergot flexible radialement saillant 201 dans chaque zone neutre telle que 20A, 20B et 20C.As shown in Figure 5, the probe 2 carries a radially protruding flexible lug 201 in each zone neutral such as 20A, 20B and 20C.

Chacun de ces ergots est disposé à la base de la zone neutre correspondante du palpeur 2, c'est-à-dire dans la partie de cette zone neutre qui reste engagée dans l'embase 1 pour la position d'engagement minimal de ce palpeur, cet ergot 201 coopérant avec une série de reliefs d'accrochage telle que 11A de l'embase 1 dans la position angulaire d'accrochage, et venant, dans la position angulaire de découplage, buter latéralement contre une nervure telle que 12A de l'embase et frotter radialement contre une zone neutre, telle que 10A, de cette embase 1.Each of these pins is arranged at the base of the corresponding neutral zone of probe 2, i.e. in the part of this neutral zone which remains engaged in the base 1 for the minimum engagement position of this feeler, this lug 201 cooperating with a series of attachment reliefs such as 11A of the base 1 in the angular position of attachment, and coming, in the decoupling angular position, sideways abut against a rib such as 12A on the base and rub radially against a neutral area, such as 10A, of this base 1.

Chaque série de reliefs d'accrochage, tels que 111 sur l'embase 1 et 222 sur le palpeur 2, est formée de crans s'étendant individuellement en un arc de cercle centré sur l'axe Z et alignés les uns derrière les autres suivant une direction parallèle à l'axe, les crans 222 du palpeur 2 se terminant en une pointe 223.Each series of hanging reliefs, such as 111 on the base 1 and 222 on the probe 2, is formed of notches extending individually in an arc centered on the Z axis and aligned one behind the other in a direction parallel to the axis, the notches 222 of the probe 2 ending in a point 223.

Comme le montre la figure 1, l'embase 1 comporte un logement de fixation 130 défini dans un fût central creux 13, ce logement pouvant par exemple être vissé ou au moins enfilé sur un goujon pour permettre de fixer l'embase 1 à la première pièce P1.As shown in Figure 1, the base 1 has a fixing housing 130 defined in a hollow central barrel 13, this housing can for example be screwed or less threaded on a stud to allow fixing the base 1 to the first part P1.

Le palpeur 2 est alors lui-même conçu pour être creux, de sorte qu'il peut être guidé sur le fût central 13.The probe 2 is then itself designed to be hollow, so that it can be guided on the central drum 13.

De préférence, ce palpeur 2 est par ailleurs conformé en champignon dont la tête 23, par exemple de forme polygonale, porte des relief 230 d'entraínement en rotation, en l'occurrence formés par les sommets de la forme polygonale.Preferably, this probe 2 is moreover shaped like a mushroom whose head 23, for example of polygonal shape, carries relief 230 of training in rotation, in this case formed by the vertices of the polygonal shape.

Les figures 7 et 8 illustrent le procédé de réglage du dispositif de rattrapage de dispersion dimensionnelle tel que décrit ci-dessus, ce procédé permettant d'ajuster à une course de longueur L déterminée le débattement relatif de deux pièces P1 et P2, en l'occurrence d'une pédale P2 de véhicule automobile par rapport au plancher P1 de ce dernier.Figures 7 and 8 illustrate the adjustment process of the dimensional dispersion adjustment device as described above, this method making it possible to adjust at a stroke of length L determined the travel relative of two pieces P1 and P2, in this case a P2 pedal of a motor vehicle relative to the floor P1 of the latter.

Ce procédé utilise une cale d'épaisseur 4, telle qu'illustrée à la figure 6, qui présente un renfoncement 40 conformé pour recevoir, sans liberté de rotation, la tête 23 du palpeur 2, le fond 400 de ce renfoncement 40 étant séparé de la face opposée 41 de cette cale 4 par une distance D égale à la longueur L à donner au débattement de la pédale P2 par rapport au plancher P1.This process uses a shim of thickness 4, such as illustrated in Figure 6, which shows a recess 40 shaped to receive, without freedom of rotation, the head 23 of probe 2, the bottom 400 of this recess 40 being separated from the opposite face 41 of this wedge 4 by a distance D equal to the length L to be given to the clearance of pedal P2 relative to floor P1.

Dans un premier temps, l'embase 1 est fixée sur la première pièce, c'est-à-dire en l'occurrence sur le plancher P1, la pédale P2 étant spontanément placée dans sa position distale par rapport au plancher P1.Firstly, the base 1 is fixed to the first piece, that is to say in this case on the floor P1, the pedal P2 being spontaneously placed in its position distal to the floor P1.

Par exemple, l'embase 1 est enfilée dans un trou T pratiqué dans la garniture ou moquette G qui recouvre le plancher P1.For example, the base 1 is threaded into a hole T performed in the upholstery or carpet G which covers the floor P1.

Pour garantir l'immobilité de l'embase 1 par rapport au plancher P1, le logement 130 de l'embase 1 est de préférence vissé sur un goujon (non visible) qui est soudé sur le plancher P1 et qui fait saillie du plancher P1 dans le trou T.To guarantee the immobility of the base 1 by relative to the floor P1, the housing 130 of the base 1 is preferably screwed onto a stud (not visible) which is welded on the floor P1 and which protrudes from the floor P1 in hole T.

Avant ou après cette première opération, le palpeur 2 est placé, par rapport à l'embase 1, à la fois dans sa position angulaire d'accrochage et dans sa position d'engagement maximal.Before or after this first operation, the probe 2 is placed, relative to the base 1, both in its angular hooking position and in its position maximum engagement.

La cale d'épaisseur 4 est ensuite glissée entre le palpeur 2 et la pédale P2, la tête 23 du palpeur venant ainsi s'engager complètement dans le renfoncement 40, dont elle devient solidaire en rotation. The shim of thickness 4 is then slid between the probe 2 and pedal P2, the head 23 of the probe coming from thus fully engaging in the recess 40, with which it becomes integral in rotation.

Une rotation de la cale 4 permet alors d'imprimer au palpeur 2 une rotation de même amplitude angulaire, qui place le palpeur en position angulaire de découplage.A rotation of the wedge 4 then makes it possible to print at probe 2 a rotation of the same angular amplitude, which places the probe in the angular decoupling position.

Dans ces conditions, le ressort 3 déplace le palpeur 2 et la cale 4 par rapport à l'embase 1, la cale 4 étant poussée vers la pédale P2 jusqu'à ce que la face opposée 41 de la cale 4 touche cette pédale, la distance L séparant la tête 23 du palpeur 2 de la pédale P2 étant ainsi par construction égale à la distance D séparant le fond 400 du renfoncement 40 de la face opposée 41 de la cale 4.Under these conditions, the spring 3 moves the probe 2 and the shim 4 relative to the base 1, the shim 4 being pushed towards the pedal P2 until the face opposite 41 of the shim 4 touches this pedal, the distance L separating the head 23 of the probe 2 from the pedal P2 being thus by construction equal to the distance D separating the bottom 400 of the recess 40 on the opposite face 41 of the wedge 4.

Il suffit alors d'imprimer au palpeur 2, par l'intermédiaire de la cale 4, une rotation plaçant ce palpeur en position angulaire d'accrochage, puis de retirer la cale 4, pour que l'amplitude du débattement vertical de la pédale P2 par rapport au plancher P1 soit fixé à la valeur L.It then suffices to print on probe 2, by via wedge 4, a rotation placing this probe in angular position, then remove the shim 4, so that the amplitude of the travel vertical of pedal P2 with respect to floor P1 either set to L value.

Une fois le réglage effectué, la butée réglable est directement en contact, par son palpeur 2, avec la pédale P2 lorsque cette dernière est en fin de course.Once the adjustment has been made, the adjustable stop is directly in contact, via its probe 2, with the pedal P2 when the latter is at the end of the race.
