Abstract: A damper assembly incorporating a bushing adapted to rotate within a wall structure and engage a post on a bin or other element to be controlled. The bushing defines a hub of an integral, coaxial rotor which rides within a fluid containing housing. The bushing and rotor rotate concurrently about a common axis during rotation of the bin or other device being controlled. The drag on the rotor thereby slows the rotation of the engaged post and the associated bin or other structure being controlled.

Abstract: A damper for damping movement of an object is formed from silicone impregnated or silicone containing components. The damper includes a housing having walls defining a well and a rotor positioned in the housing within the well. The rotor is positioned to define a space between the rotor and the walls. One or more seals is positioned between the housing and the rotor to isolate the space from the environment. A damping fluid is present in the well between the rotor and the housing for damping rotation of the rotor relative to the housing. The housing, the rotor and the seals are formed from silicone containing or silicone impregnated materials. The damping fluid is also a silicone based material.

Abstract: A damper includes a frame, a main gear mounted to the frame for rotation about an axis of rotation, and a spring operably connecting the main gear and the frame such that rotation of the main gear tensions the spring. The main gear has a circumferential recess formed therein that defines a circumferential channel or reel. An elongated flexible member is wrapped around the main gear, disposed within the circumferential channel. A gear damper is mounted to the frame and is operably engaged with the main gear to dampen rotational movement of the main gear. The damper can be configured for one-way and two-way damping.

Abstract: A slide damper for use with an associated sliding object that is movable between a first position and a second position provides an assisted, dampened return. The slide damper includes a housing having a track, a gear on the housing and a cover configured for movement along the housing. The cover further includes a track engaging pin for engaging the housing track as the cover moves along the housing. A biasing element operably connects the cover and the housing to bias the cover to the second position. A damper assembly is disposed within the cover and includes a damper housing having a geared outer periphery, a damping material disposed in the damper housing and a rotor disposed at least in part within the damper housing for cooperating with the damping material. The rotor has a shaft and is rotatable relative to the damper housing. The rotor shaft extends through the cover and a damper gear operably connects the shaft and the housing gear. The damper assembly is selectively engaged in which the rotor rotates relative to the damper housing when the cover is moved toward the second position and movement of the damper gear along the housing gear is dampened, and disengaged in which the rotor is stationary relative to the damper housing when the cover is moved toward the first position and movement of the damper gear along the housing gear is unimpeded.

Abstract: A free run clutch apparatus is disclosed for damping movement of a device mechanically connected to the apparatus. The apparatus includes a housing which defines an enclosure and a rotor rotatably located within the enclosure, the rotor defining a cavity. A shaft has a first and a second end, the first end of the shaft being rotatably disposed within the cavity. A biasing device is disposed within the cavity between the first end of the shaft and the rotor. Also, a black oxide coating is coated on the biasing device such that when the shaft is rotated in a first direction, a free run of the biasing device within the cavity is permitted. However, when the shaft rotates in a second direction opposite to the first direction, the coated biasing device grabs the rotor so that damping of the rotation of the shaft in the second direction can be achieved.
