Abstract
A frictional damper, in particular for spinner-type washing machines, comprises a tubular housing and a tappet guided displaceably in the housing, articulation elements being mounted on the free end of the housing and the tappet. A damping element is formed on the end of the housing on the tappet exit side, in which a damping element carrying a friction lining is disposed displaceably in the direction of the central longitudinal axis. The damping element bears against prestressed helical compression springs.
