HOROLOGICAL TORQUE LIMITING MECHANISM

A horological torque limiting mechanism, including a first wheel with a first elastic arm projecting from a first felloe, a second wheel including a second surface to engage in frictional pressure with the first wheel for the relative actuation thereof, a travel limiter fastened to a structure to hold the first and second wheels in frictional pressure in certain angular positions, the second wheel and/or the travel limiter and/or the structure including a relief forming a ramp, to, in certain angular positions relative to the first wheel, engage in frictional pressure with the first elastic arm, and, in further positions, allow a frictionless travel between the first wheel and the component bearing the relief, the second wheel includes a second arm forming a ramp projecting from a second felloe.
