Abstract
Safety device comprising an inertial mass (1) pivoted to a frame (2) for rotating around an axis (4), wherein elastic means (6) act on the inertial mass (1) for opposing its rotation, a wedge (12) being arranged in the frame (2) so that the inertial mass (1), when it rotates around this axis (4), slides along the inclined wall of the wedge (12), so as to axially move the inertial mass (1) along this axis (4).
