Abstract
A device for damping the movement of a movably mounted component comprises a braking device which has a driven damper surface that cooperates with a secured damper surface to enclose a gap in which a viscous damping medium is present that causes a braking force of the braking device when the driven damper surface is rotated with respect to the secured damper surface, the braking force depending on the rotational speed of the driven damper surface. The device also has an additional braking device and a coupling. In the closed state of the coupling, at least one additional damper surface of the additional braking device driven by the movement of the component about an axis of the auxiliary braking device is rotated relative to at least one secured additional damper surface about the axis of the additional braking device, the additional braking device exerting an additional braking force. In the opened state of the coupling, the additional braking device is inactive. The coupling is activated by the braking force exerted by the braking device.
