Patent ID: 7938246

Claim:
A stop module, comprising: a base body; a stop element configured for objects moving in a direction of motion in a movement plane and located on said base body; a drive device for moving said stop element between a first terminal position, in which the stop element protrudes into the movement plane of the objects, and a second terminal position, in which said stop element enables a motion of objects in the movement plane; and a damping device cooperating with said stop element for damping a motion of said stop element from a first stop position into a second terminal stop position, which is offset relative to said first stop position at least approximately in the direction of motion of the objects, when an object is resting on said stop element, said damping device being configured so as to damp the motion of said stop element from said first stop position to said second terminal stop position with a rotation damper, wherein said rotation damper has an inner rotor and an outer rotor located eccentrically to said inner rotor, and wherein said outer rotor includes recesses that cooperate with teeth of said inner rotor, wherein a number of recesses in said outer rotor is greater by one than a number of teeth of said inner rotor.
