DEVICE FOR DAMPING THE MOVEMENT OF A MOVABLY MOUNTED COMPONENT

摘要

A device for damping the movement of a movably mounted component (1) comprises a brake device which has a driven damper surface (21) that cooperates with a retained damper surface (22) to enclose a gap in which a viscous damping medium (23) is present that causes a braking force of the brake device when the driven damper surface (21) is rotated with respect to the retained damper surface (22), said braking force depending on the rotational speed of the driven damper surface (21). The device also has an auxiliary brake device and a coupling. In the closed state of the coupling, at least one auxiliary damper surface (19) of the auxiliary brake device driven by the movement of the component (1) about an axis (6) of the auxiliary brake device is rotated relative to at least one retained auxiliary damper surface (20) about the axis (6) of the auxiliary brake device , the auxiliary brake device exerting an auxiliary braking force. In the opened state of the coupling, the auxiliary brake device is inactive. The coupling is activated by the braking force exerted by the brake device.
