Abstract
A buffer or damping device affixable as a unit to a rotating gear 22. The buffer includes a first gear 2, 3 engaging the rotating gear and a geared one-way clutch 4. The clutch is linked to a worm 7c on a shaft 7. A damping member 8 is fixed to the shaft and it expands under rotation to frictionally contact a sliding contact member 6 to thereby damp the rotation of the rotating member. All elements are enclosed in a case 1 and cover 9, except a portion of the first gear.
