Abstract
A deceleration device comprises a cylindrical container (14) housing at least one friction disc (16) against at least an internal wall of the cylindrical container (14), and a movable cursor (18), actuated by an external element, for the actuation of the friction disc (16), the friction disc (16) being bound to the cylindrical container (14) through constraint means which permit a roto-translational motion in order to acquire a further sliding contact surface in addition to the internal wall of the cylindrical container (14) at the end of the initial translation phase of the cursor (18) in which the friction disc (16) is subjected to a mainly or completely translational motion.
Claims16
A deceleration device comprising a cylindrical container housing at least one friction disc having a lower surface in sliding contact with a base of said cylindrical container, said cylindrical container and said friction disc having respective lateral surfaces, and one movable cursor, actuated by an external element and operatively connected to the friction disk, wherein said friction disc is bound to said cylindrical container through constraint means configured and adapted to permit movement of said friction disc according to a roto-translational motion inside and with respect to an internal wall of said cylindrical container bringing said lateral surfaces into further sliding contact with each other, thereby effecting further sliding contact between said lateral surfaces in addition to the sliding contact between said lower surface of the friction disc and base of said cylindrical container.
