Abstract
The present invention relates to a friction device () for maintaining a control member () in a determined position. The device comprises a contact part () 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 () bears against the control member () in such a manner as to establish a determined friction force. An electromechanical drive means moves the contact part () between the two stable positions. The device includes remote control means for activating and deactivating the drive means.
