DAMPER DEVICE FOR DAMPING THE MOVEMENT OF A COMPONENT AND COVER WITH SUCH A DEVICE

Abstract:

A damper device (100), for damping the movement of a component, has a device housing (110) and a spring (120) which is fastened by a first end (121) to the device housing (110) and by a second end (122) to a driver element (140). The spring, in a tensioned state, pretensions the driver element (140) in terms of rotation. The driver element (140) is designed such that, during a rotational movement about an axis of rotation, it carries along a pivoting element (150) and, in the process, sets the latter into a rotational movement about the axis of rotation relative to the device housing. The pivoting element is connected to a damper (130). The damper device has a stop element (111) which is designed such that it restricts or limits the rotational movement of the driver element without restricting or limiting the rotational movement of the pivoting element.
