Abstract
A device for artificially restoring an opposing force for a device for remotely controlling an aircraft control surface, the device comprising: an actuator member (1) mounted to pivot about an axis (2) and entrain a rotary shaft (3); a stationary finger (8) parallel to said shaft (3) and supported at a radial distance from the shaft; a moving finger (5) secured to the shaft and supported at the same radial distance as the stationary finger, both fingers being parallel to the shaft; a slab (9) supported at the same radial distance as the fingers and disposed beside them; a first spring (11) between the stationary finger and the slab; and a second spring (10) between the moving finger and the slab.
