ROTATION BRAKING APPARATUS AND USE OF A ROTATION BRAKING APPARATUS IN THE MOTOR VEHICLE INDUSTRY

摘要

Rotation braking apparatus having a housing which is of cylindrical or polygonal cross section at least on the inside and which is composed of a rigid material and in which at least one hook-like braking and damping element (13, 16) which is composed of a material which has spring-elastic properties is arranged, the hook-like length section (17) of said element being directed toward the interior of the housing (8) and the remaining length section of said element being entirely or partially associated with the inner wall (9) of the housing (8), wherein a braking and damping lever (13, 14) which projects from a shaft (7) which is arranged in the housing (8) engages behind the hook-like length section (17) and deforms the hook-like length section (17) in a spring-elastic manner and largely stretches said hook-like length section in the event of a pivoting movement which is directed against the hook.
