DEFINITION

Classification: 188/378

INERTIA OF DAMPING MASS DISSIPATES MOTION (E.G., VIBRATION DAMPER):

(under the class definition) Device including first and second relatively movable members, wherein the second member includes a relatively heavy damping mass and the motion is restrained by an opposing force resulting from the inertia of the damping mass.
