Patent number: 11118652Abstract: A vibration damper is provided with two rotating members, i.e. an oscillating inertial flywheel and a member to be damped driven by a torque following a torque path between a driving member and a driven member, wherein the inertial flywheel is connected kinematically to the torque path between the driving member and the driven member solely by way of the member to be damped. Connecting modules between the two rotating members permit a relative angular displacement ? between the two rotating members on the two sides of a reference relative angular position. Each connecting module is provided with a roller associated with a first of the two rotating members and a cam track connected resiliently by a resilient element to a second of the two rotating members.Type: GrantFiled: October 28, 2016Date of Patent: September 14, 2021Assignee: VALEO EMBRAYAGESInventors: Benoit Fleche, Fabien Lebeau, Jerome Boulet, Carlos Lopez Perez

Patent number: 10400825Abstract: A vibration damper for a torque transmission device comprising a first element and a second element which are rotatable relative to each other around an axis of rotation X; and damping means for transmitting a torque and damping the rotational acyclisms between the first element and the second element. The damping means comprise an elastic blade mounted securely on the first element and provided with a cam surface; and the damper comprises a cam follower carried by the second element and arranged to cooperate with the cam surface. The cam surface is arranged such that, for an angular travel between the first element and the second element relative to an angular rest position, the cam follower exerts a flexion force on the elastic blade producing a reaction force able to return the first and second elements to the angular rest position.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2013Date of Patent: September 3, 2019Assignee: Valeo EmbrayagesInventor: Carlos Lopez Perez

Patent number: 10309482Abstract: A damper for an automobile clutch, comprises input and output elements rotationally movable with respect to one another around a rotation axis (X), and a damping device interposed between the input and output elements. One of the input and output elements is equipped with a cam follower (21). The damping device has a flexible blade (17a; 17b). The flexible blade is provided with a cam surface (20) arranged to interact with the cam follower. The cam surface extends over an opening angle (A) greater than 30°.Type: GrantFiled: June 23, 2015Date of Patent: June 4, 2019Assignee: Valeo EmbrayagesInventor: Carlos Lopez Perez
