Patent attributes
A rotary damper includes a driven-to-rotate member having integrally a driven-to-rotate part for coupling to a drive member and a first inner cylindrical wall, the first inner cylindrical wall including a locking part at a bottom end of the first inner cylindrical wall; a fixed support member for holding the driven-to-rotate member so as to rotate freely; a receiving part formed between the fixed support member and the driven-to-rotate member; and a seal member for sealing an outer perimeter of the receiving part so that the driven-to-rotate member and the fixed support member are capable of relative rotation. A viscous fluid is provided inside the receiving part for damping relative rotation between the driven-to-rotate member and the fixed support member.
