Each intermediate wheel meshes with both main wheels, and every two intermediate wheels are disposed at a bearing element which is linked to a linking point which is non-coincident with the bearings of the intermediate wheels. The linking points of the bearing elements are directly or indirectly connected to one another by coupling members. The linking point of at least one bearing element is positioned in a scissor-shaped area, which is formed by the two resultant bearing forces of the two intermediate wheels which are disposed on the bearing element and in which the resultant of both bearing forces lies. The intermediate wheels exercise equidirectional torques on each main wheel. | |
