A damping device of a window covering is provided, including a headrail, a covering material, and a driving device, wherein the driving device is located in the headrail to raise and extend the covering material. The damping device is provided in the headrail, and includes a metal member and a magnetic member, wherein at least a magnetic pole of the magnetic member faces the metal member. The metal member is located within a magnetic field of the magnetic member. Either one or both the metal member and the magnetic member is drivable by the driving device to make the metal member and the magnetic member move relative to each other. Whereby, the damping device is able to provide a desired damping effect at different temperature or after a long period use, such that the rotation of the metal member and the movement of the covering material are slowed down.

A rotary damper that does not cause a problem that a rotational resistance fluctuates during a rotation of a rotor is provided. On a bottom surface of a housing, a plurality of walls are erected concentrically centered on a bearing portion. Notches are formed in the walls at point-symmetrical peripheral positions centered on the bearing portion, and each notch is distributed and arranged at peripheral positions that evenly divide a circumference centered on the bearing portion between the adjacent walls. On a side surface of a rotor, a plurality of walls are erected concentrically centered on a center pin at a pitch deviated from a standing pitch of the walls of the housing by a half pitch. Notches are formed in the walls at point-symmetrical peripheral positions centered on the center pin, and each notch is distributed and arranged at peripheral positions that evenly divide a circumference.

A rotary damper includes a lid (130) that closes an opening of a case (110), a protrusion (131) formed on the lid (130), and a groove (114) having an arc shape formed on the case (110). A bottom surface of the groove (114) has a gradient. The protrusion (131) moves in the groove (114) while contacting the bottom surface of the groove (114), thereby displacing the lid (130).

Provided is a rotary damper having a first valve provided in a first oil passage, the rotary damper including an oil chamber filled with oil; a vane located in the oil chamber; a groove which is formed in the vane and functions as a valve box of the first valve; a valve body of the first valve which moves while being in contact with a bottom surface of the groove; and an elastic body which applies elasticity to the valve body, and causes the valve body to come into contact with a wall surface of the oil chamber when the oil does not flow, in which the bottom surface of the groove is a slope, and thereby the valve body which is in contact with the wall surface when receiving oil pressure from one direction moves away from the wall surface when receiving the oil pressure from an opposite direction.

An isolator comprising a pulley having a pulley stop, a plate attached to the pulley, a shaft, the pulley journalled to the shaft, a torsion spring attached to the shaft, a damping member attached to the torsion spring, the damping member disposed between the plate and the pulley, and the damping member compressing a damping fluid against the pulley stop.

A vibration damping device which is able to damp vibration of a rotating body in a high-speed range and to certainly accelerate the rotating body to the high-speed range is provided. A vibration damping device 1 damping vibration of a rotating body 100 includes an automatic balancer 2 which is configured to cancel out imbalance of the rotating body 100 when the rotating body rotates 100; a liquid damper 4 which is coaxially rotatable with the rotating body 100 and includes a collision member 23 provided in a casing 20 in which liquid 22 is sealed, the liquid colliding with the collision member 23 when the liquid 22 moves in a circumferential direction; and a relative rotation unit 5 which is configured to cause the liquid damper 4 to rotate relative to the rotating body 100.

A damper includes a housing in which an opening is formed, a cap closing the opening of the housing, a movable member movably housed between the housing and the cap, and a gel-like attenuating medium filled in a movable area of the movable member inside the housing. The housing and the cap are physical objects, the attenuating medium is filled between the physical objects and the movable member, and the housing and the cap are formed by the same principal material.
