Abstract:
A stroke transmission apparatus comprising:at least one bearing displaced radially from an axis; a displaceable drive element movable relative to the bearing along the axis; a displaceable stroke element being displaced in the same direction relative to the axis as the drive element; at least one lever being engageable by the drive element, and being engageable on the stroke element and on a pivot point of the bearing in an initial position with the stroke element and the drive element sitting loosely on one another with a spacing between the at least one lever and the stroke element, so that during an enlargeable primary stroke, the spacing is reduced to form a seating of the at least one lever on the stroke element with a simultaneous engagement of the at least one lever on the bearing and a primary stroke of the drive element can be transmitted to the stroke element via a lever effect of the at least one lever; and as the primary stroke progresses, a stroke factor is modified by modifying at least one contact point of the at least one lever.
