Abstract:
Device for displacing a platform (4) in any direction of a plane comprised of two orthogonal axes (X, Z), comprising:a first carriage (2; 3', 6') which can be driven along the first (X) of the two orthogonal axes,a second carriage (3; 6) which can be driven along the same first of the two orthogonal axes,said two carriages being disposed in a same plane and being guided by the same means (11),the platform including a first sliding means (21/40; 31'/41'; 60', 61'/43') relative to the first carriage and a second sliding means (31/41; 60, 61/43) relative to the second carriage,at least one of the sliding means being oriented along a third axis at an angle (.alpha., .alpha.') other than 90.degree. relative to the first of the orthogonal axes, the third axis being in the same plane as the two orthogonal axes.
