  • Actuation device
    Patent number: 8136537
    Abstract: An actuation device includes a driving member, a driven member and an actuating arrangement operable for producing a movement of the driving member. The driven member has a seat into which is operatively inserted, with the possibility of relative movement, an engagement part of the driving member. The driving member has a seat which, in at least one position of the actuation device, at least partially faces the seat of the driven member. The two seats are longitudinally extended and the actuation device further includes at least one floating body, capable of moving between the two seats when they face each other at least in part. The driving member and the driven member are configured for preventing accidental or irregular displacements of the floating body, particularly accidental or irregular displacements due to knocks, vibrations and similar mechanical stresses.
