<p>A damper arrangement is provided for damping motion of an element which is to rotate about a first axis, such as a toilet seat. The damping arrangement incorporates a cam member (43) presenting an exterior surface which is eccentric with respect to the axis of rotation of the cam member. A damper member (50) is provided which engages the cam surface and is adapted to move linearly in a plane substantially perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the cam member in response to rotation of the cam. The damper member (50) is associated with means in the form of a rubber sucker (57) which defines part of a chamber, there being a flow passage (21) for permitting a restricted flow of air into the chamber. The rubber sucker resists the movement of the damper member, thus resisting rotation of the cam member.</p> |
