Abstract

See full text

The present invention relates to a friction device (11) for maintaining a control member (2, 8) in a determined position. The device comprises a contact part (16) movable between a declutched stable position and a clutched stable position, and vice versa. The clutched stable position corresponds to a position in which the contact part (16) bears against the control member (2, 8) in such a manner as to establish a determined friction force. An electromechanical drive means moves the contact part (16) between the two stable positions. The device includes remote control means for activating and deactivating the drive means.
