Abstract
Abstract The clutch contains a spring for pulling the arm of the control lever on the stop and an additional auxiliary spring connected with a roller. While the control lever strikes on the stop, the roller moves toward one lever arm so that in a further rotation of the parts, the roller (30) is lifted within a slot while additionally tensioning the auxiliary spring. While the tension of the main spring decreases, that of the auxiliary spring increases correspondingly, so that the control lever is held with sufficient tension on the stop and machine vibrations during the striking or operation can be made harmless or damped.
