| 1. Device for modulating a first rotational motion of an input shaft to a second, different from the first, rotational motion
of an output shaft in textile machines, comprising:
a fixed complementary cam provided with at least two cam profiles;
at least one cam follower, which is linked to the input and the output shafts and which is provided with at least two contact
rollers, each following a different cam profile, because of which the said cam followers are performing a rocking motion,
wherein the said cam profiles are internal cam profiles.
