Abstract: A spring (1) for a notching system, the spring including at least two elastic arms (11, 12), and a first toothset javomg first notching teeth (11a, 12a) disposed on each of the arms, the spring being designed such that, in a position in which one of the arms of the spring is not loaded, the arm is convex as seen from the top of the first notching tooth of this arm.

Abstract: A notching system (100) including a spring (1) having a first including n first teeth (11a, 12a) a first member (2) having a second toothset including m second teeth (22a, 22b), and a second member (3) mounted so as to be movable, in particular mounted so as to be rotatable, with respect to the first member (2), the first and second toothsets being arranged such that, through their interactions, they define p notches or indexed positions, the spring (1) including at least two elastic arms (11, 12), and at least one first pivot connection element (1b) between said two elastic arms (11, 12), the second member including at least one second pivot connection element (3b) cooperating with the at least one first pivot connection element (1b) in order to create at least one pivot connection between the spring (1) and the second member (3).
