Friction damper for washing machines

摘要

A friction damper for washing machines has a friction plate (10) and friction heads (11) which are pressed in pairs against this and which are each arranged at the end of an arm (27) of a clamping and holding shackle (12). In order by simple means to make it possible to cancel the damping forces after the critical point of a washing machine has been passed, a motive damping interruptor, pressing the friction heads (11) apart from one another and designed as a linear drive, engages on the arms (27) of the clamping and holding shackle (12). <IMAGE>
