Patent number: 11674553Abstract: A torsion damping device for a vehicle transmission line including a first rotating element, a second rotating element, a main damper, a third rotating element and an additional damper. When the angular displacement between the first and second rotating elements is greater than zero and less than said first threshold, the at least one main spring is compressed while the third rotating element is rotated by the first rotating element via the uncompressed additional spring, and when the angular displacement between the first and second rotating elements is greater than said first threshold, the at least one main spring is compressed and the at least one additional spring is compressed in parallel, the compression of the additional spring being accompanied by the relative rotation of the first rotating element and the third rotating element.Type: GrantFiled: September 20, 2018Date of Patent: June 13, 2023Assignee: VALEO EMBRAYAGESInventors: Didier Bagard, Pierre Boucheny, David Denizot, Olivier Marechal

Patent number: 10816039Abstract: A device for damping torsional oscillations, including: a pendulum-type torsional oscillation damper, a supplementary torsional oscillation damper including an input element, an output element, wherein both are configured to rotate around one axis rotation, and at least one mechanical energy accumulator device disposed between the input and output elements, a torque limiter, including at least one friction coating fixed on a disk, configured to be displaced around the axis. The disk is connected to rotate with the input element of the supplementary torsional oscillation damper and the friction coating is fixed to the disk of the torque limiter by an adhesively bonded surface-to-surface joint.Type: GrantFiled: July 28, 2016Date of Patent: October 27, 2020Assignee: VALEO EMBRAYAGESInventors: Olivier Marechal, Didier Bagard

Patent number: 10012287Abstract: A powertrain mechanism in a vehicle having an internal combustion engine. The powertrain mechanism is provided for transmitting power from the engine to a gearbox. The mechanism includes at least one drive plate and at least one connection hub. The hub has an assembly section disposed in at least one assembly opening provided in the vicinity of the center of the drive plate. At least one protrusion upper section defines at an uppermost section of at least one protrusion provided mutually on an inner wall of the assembly opening and on an outer wall of the assembly section. At least one recess base defines at a lowermost section of at least one recess wherein the at least one protrusion is at least partially placed. The powertrain mechanism further includes at least one movement gap provided between the protrusion upper section and the recess base.Type: GrantFiled: April 26, 2016Date of Patent: July 3, 2018Assignee: Valeo Otomotiv Sanayi ve Ticaret Anonim SirketiInventors: Cihan Çiçek, Olivier Marechal, Didier Bagard
