peer agreement (net): +1
peer agreement (net): +1displacement Explanation: According to the picture, the little widget rotating about the axis X in an anticlockwise direction (looking into the picture) will (I think) allow the 2 connectors to come up under the action of the spring, though it is hard to tell in 2D. Although "dégagement" is more properly a "release", it talks of "le sens d'un dégagement D" so I think "displacement" is sufficiently general to cover it. |

relieving Explanation: As I understand the text, there is a ''corresponding swivel of the pawl in the D relieving direction around the swivel axis X.'' Do you have a picture of the part? Otherwise, I agree that you should use clearance. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 50 mins (2012-02-17 14:58:14 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Loulou, it all depends again on the part. Here is the definition: Pawl: Small pivoted latch engaging a ratchet-wheel or rack -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 52 mins (2012-02-17 15:00:39 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I looked at the image you provided and I am almost 100% sure of my translation for both ''relieving'' and ''pawl'' ;-) -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 hrs (2012-02-17 16:28:08 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- You are right Chris, but in devices ''displacement'' is defined as an offset, unphasing and/or a travelling. In the sentence we have here, the object is moved (relieved) in direction D and around swivel axis... It is not easy to for me to explain, but mechanical and automatisms engineers for whom I work for have explained this to me verbally...I wish I had it in writing! ;-) Reference: http://www.granddictionnaireterminologique.com/btml/fra/r_mo...
