Damper including resilient friction member and seat assembly using same

A damper, comprising:

• a) a tubular outer member including first and second open ends, a recess having an inner surface of substantially constant diameter, and a first attachment hole intersecting the recess at the first end thereof;
• and
• b) an inner member assembly received in the second end, including;
• a shaft having a first portion including a second attachment hole formed therein and a smaller dimension portion, and
• a resilient friction member fixedly mounted to the smaller dimension portion, the resilient friction member disposed in the recess in frictional contact with the inner surface.

A damper, comprising:

• a) a tubular outer member including first and second open ends, a recess having an inner surface of substantially constant diameter extending from the first end to the second end, and a first attachment hole radially intersecting the recess at the first end thereof;
• and
• b) an inner member assembly received in the second end, including;
• a shaft having a first portion of a constant diameter including a second attachment hole formed radially therethrough and a smaller dimension portion extending from the first portion, and
• a one-piece resilient friction member including a plurality of protrusions fixedly mounted to the smaller dimension portion, the one-piece resilient friction member disposed in the recess in frictional contact with the inner surface.
