The damping element for damping translatory motion of a body over a relatively stationary base includes a housing holding a viscous fluid; a friction disk in the viscous fluid in the housing coupled with a shaft extending from the housing; a rotatable drive element having an axis of rotation, connected to the shaft outside the housing, formed so that the drive element can be driven rotatably due to a translatory motion of the body over the base and provided with a cavity coaxial to the axis of rotation; and a coupling device including a free-wheel device in the cavity of the drive element and connecting the friction disk and the rotatable drive element and structured so that rotation of the drive element in one direction results in a torque transferring connection between the friction disk and the drive element, while rotation of the drive element in an opposite direction opposite results in interruption of the torque transferring connection between the friction disk and the drive element.
A damping element for damping translatory motion of a body over a relatively stationary base, comprising:
A damping element for damping translatory motion, comprising:
A coupling means connecting a rotatable shaft with a rotatable drive element having an axis of rotation and a substantially cylindrical cavity coaxial to the axis of rotation, said coupling means consisting of a free-wheel device arranged in the cavity provided in the drive element, wherein the free-wheel device is formed by a plastic part having a hub nonrotatably mounted on said shaft, provided with a plurality of sloping surfaces and three resilient arms, each of said resilient arms extending from the hub in a circumferential direction and having a free end, said arms being bendable when said plastic part rotates in one direction of rotation so that said rotatable drive element can rotate freely relative to said rotatable shaft, each of said free ends of said resilient arms having an integrally injection-molded clamping part projecting in an axial direction laterally from the plastic part on one side of the plastic part and being formed so that, when said plastic part rotates in another direction opposite to said one direction of rotation, each of said clamping parts jams between one of said sloping surfaces provided on the plastic part and an inner wall of said cavity in the drive element so that said rotatable drive element is nonrotatably fixed on said shaft.
A damping device for damping translatory motion, comprising:
