Patent ID: 8857014

Claim:
A damping device for damping a movement of a movably mounted furniture part or a movably mounted furniture fitment component of a furniture fitment, the damping device comprising: a piston arranged in a fluid chamber such that a damping action is produced by a relative movement between the fluid chamber and the piston and the piston assumes a pressed-in end position at an end of a damping stroke relative to the fluid chamber; a slider in which the fluid chamber is accommodated; a locking device having an arresting element, a first fixing element which is connected to the slider and which moves as a result of the damping stroke, and a second fixing element which is displaced by the arresting element, the locking device being configured such that actuating the arresting element releasably arrests a relative position between the fluid chamber and the piston in the pressed-in end position to deactivate the damping action, wherein actuation of the arresting element displaces the second fixing element between a first position in which the damping action is activated and a second position in which the damping action is deactivated, wherein the second fixing element engages the first fixing element in the second position to arrest the relative position between the fluid chamber and the piston, and wherein the second fixing element is configured such that a direction of the displacement between the first position and the second position is transverse to a direction of the damping stroke.
