ABSTRACT:
In a force-transmitting mechanism (1, 101) with a parallel-guiding mechanism having a stationary (2) and a movable (4) parallelogram leg (2), with a lever mechanism having at least one lever (6), and with at least one coupling element (5, 105) that introduces a force into the lever mechanism or transfers the force within the lever mechanism, wherein the coupling element is stiff in its lengthwise direction but bends elastically. The coupling element has at least one first flexure joint (8) with a thin material connection and it is movable in the parallelogram plane. The lever mechanism and each coupling element (5, 105) are integral parts of a material block. Each coupling element (5, 105) also has at least two second flexure joints (16, 116) with thin material connections whose flexibility is in the direction transverse to the bending of the first flexure joint (8).
