Brake device for damping a translatory motion

摘要

A brake device for damping a translatory motion having a bearing housing and a brake disk both made of a resilient, hard elastic plastic material. The brake disk is supported for rotation in the bearing housing and adapted for rotation in response to a translatory motion, the brake disk having an outer conically shaped friction surface and the bearing housing a correspondingly configured inner conically shaped friction. The surfaces are held together when the disk is supported in the housing to generate frictional resistance between them as the disk rotates in the housing in response to a translatory motion and thereby dampen the motion.
