Abstract
A braking device (100), separate and remote from its guide members, having resilient strips (3; 31; 32) borne by a braking mobile component (10) trapped between a structure (1) and a bolt (6) and movable perpendicularly to the axis of a horological mobile component arbor (30), on which the strips bear, and either all of the bearing forces on the arbor (30) of the strips (3) are exerted within a single angular sector having a centre angle (a) of less than 180°, or, opposite a first straight or convex strip (31) tangentially braking this arbor (30), a second strip (32) allows for relative mobility between the braking mobile component (10) and this arbor (30) in a direction of mobility (DM), the latter being: either parallel to the first resilient strip (31), or wavy and deformable perpendicularly to the direction of mobility (DM).
