Friction device includes at least two members, one of which is mobile, or potentially mobile, in terms of relative displacement with respect to the other under the action of an external stimulus. The relative displacement is liable to cause the relative displacement of two friction surfaces subjected to pressing forces, so as to convert the external stimulus into a friction force and to thus control the displacement of the mobile or potentially mobile member. The pressing forces are produced by pre-stressing mechanisms and the members are able to act on the effects of the pre-stressing mechanisms so as to use the resultant effect of the relative displacement of the mobile or potentially mobile member to reduce the pressing forces.

1. An apparatus comprising: at least a pair of members of which one of the members is relatively movable with respect to another of the members under a directional force applied by an external stimulus, the relative movement of the members causes a relative displacement of a pair of friction surface
1. An apparatus comprising: at least a pair of members of which one of the members is relatively movable with respect to another of the members under a directional force applied by an external stimulus, the relative movement of the members causes a relative displacement of a pair of friction surfaces so as to convert the external stimulus into a friction force so as to control the movement of said one of the members;a prestressing means for pressing on said pair of friction surfaces, the members being cooperative with said prestressing means, the directional force controlling an amount of the relative displacement, a force in a direction opposite said directional force causing a blocking of the relative displacement, the members being rotationally movable with respect to each other;a means for transforming the rotational movement into a rectilinear movement;an annular element intercalated between the members, said annular element being blocked from rotation on one of the members so as to create a frictional torque between said annular element and the other member, said annular element being a coaxial assembly of two rings, each of said two rings having a friction surface; anda ring element blocked in rotation in at least one direction of rotation, said ring element positioned on the immobilized member, said annular element positioned on balls received respectively in cavities in said ring element and coincident cavities in said annular element, said cavities distributed uniformly around a periphery of said annular element and uniformly distributed around a periphery of said ring element, said cavities in said annular element having a ramp shape such that during a relative rotation of said annular element with respect to said ring element the balls rest on the ramp shape of the cavities so as to cause a separation of the rings. 2. The apparatus of claim 1, said friction surface being coaxially truncated. 3. The apparatus of claim 2, the two rings each having a truncated outer wall, the movable member being a pulley mounted on said annular element, the two rings having an internal wall that is a friction surface cooperative with an external wall of said annular element. 4. The apparatus of claim 1, said prestressing means for exerting an adjustable amount of force. 5. The apparatus of claim 1, said annular element being connected by a free wheel to one of the members. 6. An apparatus comprising: at least a pair of members of which one of the members is relatively movable with respect to another of the members under a directional force applied by an external stimulus, the relative movement of the members causes a relative displacement of a pair of friction surfaces so as to convert the external stimulus into a friction force so as to control the movement of said one of the members;a prestressing means for pressing on said pair of friction surfaces, the members being cooperative with said prestressing means, the directional force controlling an amount of the relative displacement, a force in a direction opposite said directional force causing a blocking of the relative displacement, the members being rotationally movable with respect to each other, the pair of members being movable with respect to each other in a rectilinear translation movement; anda means for transforming said rectilinear translation movement into two rotational movements coaxial to the translation movement and in opposite directions. 7. The apparatus of claim 6, one of the pair of members being a rod having a first threaded portion with left-hand threads and a second threaded portion with right-hand threads, a first nut being threadedly affixed to said first threaded portion and a second nut being threadedly affixed to said second threaded portion. 8. The apparatus of claim 7, said rod having annular-shaped discs inserted thereinto. 9. The apparatus of claim 8, said first and second nuts and annular-shaped discs being received in a body, said body containing said prestressing means. 10. The apparatus of claim 7, one of said first and second nuts being mounted in series with a free wheel.
