Abstract: Cage (1) configured to house thereinside a friction ring to be used in friction dampers for washing machines, characterized in that it comprises a first (11) and a second piece (12) configured to be coupled by introducing the one in the other one.

Abstract: Cage (5) for containing the friction ring (6) of dampers for vertical axis washing machines, said cage comprising a through inner recess, configured to house slidingly the rod of the damper, and to contain a friction ring, characterized in that said through inner recess is subdivided in three parts: a first part (52) in which said recess is provided with a plurality of inner tongues therein; a second part (53) with circular section and such axial diameter and length that the friction ring is housed; a third part (54) in which said recess is provided with a plurality of tabs therein, and in that said tongues (521) and said tabs (541) are not overlapped with respect to each other, in front view.
