Abstract
A fluid free damper, comprising a spindle member; housing means mounted for relative eccentric rotation with respect to the spindle member; and engagement means interposed between the spindle member and the housing means for rotation along with one of the housing means and the spindle member with respect to the other one of the housing means and the spindle member so as to be deformably compressed between the spindle member and the housing means and thereby generate a resistive damping force between the housing means and the spindle member in response to the eccentric rotation of the one of the housing means and spindle member with respect to the other one of the housing means and the spindle member.
