ABSTRACT:
A mechanism adapted to be coupled to a driven member capable of rotating alternately in both directions, in response to the rotation of a drive shaft. This mechanism comprises a motor, a gear train for reducing the speed of the motor and two clutches associated respectively with each direction of rotation, a control device for controlling the clutches positioned to bring into action one of the clutches depending on the direction and the amplitude of the torque applied to the drive shaft so that the driven member is driven by the motor and the gear train in the desired direction. Each clutch is connected to rotate the driven member through a unidirectional coupling which ensures that the driven member is rotated by the actuated clutch and not the reverse.
