Vibration damper for a laundry treatment machine and laundry appliance

The invention relates to a friction damper 7 for a laundry treating machine 1 with a housing 2 with a damper eye 12 and a radial clearance gap 18 provided in the damper eye 12 bore 16 for the connection 11 to the housing 2, the radial clearance gap 18 at least partially from a resilient material having a cellular structure of the material, in particular of a polyurethane elastomer 15, ist.Damit filled in a frictional damper for a laundry treating machine is provided, which with respect to the acoustic and noise-generating performance of the laundry treatment machine both in the passage of solid-borne sound which occurs in the oscillatory system, as well as what As is the emergence of structure-borne noise in the friction damper itself, optimized.
