Abstract
The present invention provides a friction resistance generator which can more effectively generate a stable friction resistance. More specifically, according to the present invention, in the configuration where a rotor and a passive member face each other in a radial direction through a plurality of rollers, a rolling axis of each roller is made to be in a range larger than an angle of 5.degree. and smaller than an angle of 20.degree. with respect to a rotational axis of the rotor, and the rolling axis of each roller is made to be in a range larger than an angle of 25.degree. and smaller than an angle of 90.degree. with respect to a plane including the rotational axis of the rotor. Thereby it is possible to always generate an effective and stable frictional force.

A friction resistance generator comprising:
- a rotor rotating on the center of an axis thereof;
- a plurality of rollers arranged along a rotational raceway track of the rotor;
- a passive member facing the rotor in a radial direction of the rotor through the respective rollers;
- and
- a retainer holding the respective rollers arranged at intervals so that the rollers freely roll,
- wherein rolling axes of the respective rollers are inclined so as to form a prescribed first inclination angle with respect to a rotational axis of the rotor, and the first inclination angle is set to a range larger than 10.degree. and smaller than 20.degree., and
- the rolling axes of the rollers are inclined to the identical direction so as to form a prescribed second inclination angle to a plane including the rotational axis of the rotor respectively ,and the second inclination angle is set to a range larger than 25.degree. and smaller than 90.degree..
