Google hydraulic backstop or just backstop. There are also mechanical backstops. This may be what your looking for.

The front loading washing machines I used to work on had a spring wrapped around the axle. This allowed the drum to rotate one way only. I think they were Whirlpools.

Centrifugal isn't it? (on a moped, mini-bike, go-cart, chain saw, etc)
