Disclosed is a damper apparatus for dampening a movement of a second part movable relative to a first part. The damper apparatus includes a first damper component, a second damper component, and a dampening mechanism arranged between the first and second damper components. The second damper component is movable, at least partially or regionally, relative to the first damper component. The dampening mechanism reduces a movement of the second damper component relative to the first damper component. The damper apparatus includes a blade or rib structure connected to the first or second damper component with protruding regions, such as blades, ribs, or knobs. The protruding regions are elastically deflectable at least partially or regionally in the direction of movement of the first damper component relative to the second damper component. The dampening mechanism includes a ridge structure connected to the second or first damper component having at least one and preferably a plurality of teeth or protrusions. The tooth or protrusion of the ridge structure is arranged at least partially or regionally in an intermeshing manner between two adjacent protruding regions of the blade or rib structure.
A damper apparatus (1) for reducing a movement of a second part movable relative to a first part, wherein the damper apparatus (1) comprises the following:
