Abstract (en)
A closure mechanism C comprising a first part 1, a second part 2, a resilient element 4, such as a coil spring, a motion converting means 6, such as a rack-and-pinion gearing, comprising a rotary output element 6o and a rotary braking device 7, such as a centrifugal brake, comprising a rotary input element 7i directly or indirectly coupled to said rotary output element 6o at least during movement of the first part 1 towards said first position, so as to be rotated thereby. The first part 1 and the second part 2 are assembled to each other so that said first part 1 is guided in a translational motion relative to the second part 2 between a first and a second position. The resilient element 4 is placed between said first and second parts 1, 2 so as to urge the first part 1 towards said first position. The motion converting means 6 converts the translational motion of said first part 1 relative to said second part 2 into a rotational motion of said rotary output element 60, which is transmitted to the rotary input element 7i, and the rotary braking device 7 brakes its rotary input element 7i with a variable braking torque which increases and decreases with the rotational speed of said rotary input element 7i.
