  • Patent number: 9719561
    Abstract: A damper device includes a first member, a second member, an elastic member and a supporting member. The first member has two wall members separated from each other. The supporting member includes projections (preventing portion) that make contact with one of two wall portions (wall members) so as to prevent the supporting member and an elastic member from being inclined (falling, rotationally moving) in the axial direction.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9127720
    Abstract: A fluctuation absorbing apparatus includes a first plate secured to a flywheel, a second plate disposed at a distance from the first plate, a third plate slidably sandwiched between the first plate and the second plate, and a resilient section that is supported by, fixed to or integrated with the first plate or the second plate and biases the second plate toward the first plate.

  • Patent number: 8795093
    Abstract: A torque fluctuation absorbing apparatus includes a first side plate, a second side plate, a lining plate disposed between the side plates, a connecting member that connects the side plates at a position that is radially inward relative to the lining plate, a pressure plate disposed between the second side plate and the lining plate, and an elastic member that biases the pressure plate toward the lining plate. The lining plate is slidably sandwiched between the first side plate and the pressure plate, and the first and second side plate each includes a reinforcing portion that includes a portion that is axially curved at a location that is radially outward relative to the connecting member.

  • Patent number: 8758147
    Abstract: A torque fluctuation absorber includes a first plate member being rotatable, a second plate member positioned to be axially separated from the first plate member, the second plate member being rotatable relative to the first plate member, a first friction member arranged between the first plate member and the second plate member and slidably pressed against the first plate member and the second plate member, and a first guide portion restricting the first friction member from moving radially inwardly.

  • Publication number: 20140069228
    Abstract: A torque fluctuation reducing apparatus includes a first main damper provided on a power transmission path between a drive source and a transmission, and reducing fluctuation torque generated between the drive source and the transmission, a second main damper provided at a transmission-side relative to the first main damper to be in series with the first main damper and reducing the fluctuation torque, the second main damper including a vibration damping property which is different from a vibration damping property of the first main damper, a dynamic damper provided between the first main damper and the second main damper, and restricting vibration at a specific resonance point of a drive system on the power transmission path by using an inertia body and an elastic force, a chamber accommodating the first and the second main dampers, and the dynamic damper, and a viscous medium enclosed in part of the chamber.

  • Publication number: 20120302359
    Abstract: A torque fluctuation absorbing apparatus that includes a first assembly that absorbs a fluctuating torque generated between a first rotating shaft and a second rotating shaft that are arranged coaxially, a first end of the first assembly being connected to the first rotating shaft from the second rotating shaft side by a first connecting member, a second assembly that absorbs a fluctuating torque generated between the first rotating shaft and the second rotating shaft, the second assembly being disposed more toward the second rotating shaft side than the first connecting member and a second end thereof being connected to the second rotating shaft, and a second connecting member that connects a second end of the first assembly to a first end of the second assembly.
