Abstract
A damper has at least two damping components which are mounted such that they can move relative to each other during a damping stroke. A damping medium acts between the damping components, and at least one actuating element is operatively connected to the first damping component at least during the damping stroke of the damper. A locking device is arranged between the second damping component and a retaining part. The locking device couples the second damping component fixedly to the retaining part during the damping stroke of the damper. During the return stroke of the damper, the locking device decouples the second damping component from the retaining part so as to realize a freewheeling motion such that, during the return stroke of the damper, the second damping component moves together with the first damping component.
