Claim 2:
3. The bearing assembly according to claim 1, wherein:
the bearing assembly comprises a coupling device which is adjustable between an open state and a closed state;
wherein in the closed state the brake device is engaged, whereby during a rotation of the at least first and the at least second bearing elements relative to each other, said rotation is inhibited by the frictional force generated by the brake device; and
wherein in the open state, the brake device is disengaged, whereby the at least first and the at least second bearing elements are rotatable relative to each other without being inhibited by the brake device; and
wherein the adjustment device is configured to adjust the coupling device between the open and closed states thereof by moving the at least two wedge elements relative to each other, and thus to modify the brake force.
