  • Patent number: 11767899
    Abstract: In a power transmission device, a dynamic damper is provided in a power transmission path having at least one damper disposed therein, and has an inertial rotating body that can rotate relative to a transmission rotating member forming part of the power transmission path, and a dynamic damper spring that can provide connection between the transmission rotating member and the inertial rotating body. A preset load is applied to the dynamic damper spring in a non-transmitting state of the power transmission path. The dynamic damper spring is supported on either one of the transmission rotating member and the inertial rotating body so as to apply the preset load to the dynamic damper spring in the non-transmitting state, and a gap is set in a rotational direction in the non-transmitting state between the dynamic damper spring and an other one of the transmission rotating member and the inertial rotating body.

  • Patent number: 10955037
    Abstract: A torque converter includes first and second dampers disposed in a torque transmission path during lockup, and a dynamic damper attached to the torque transmission path between the first and second dampers. The dynamic damper includes an inertial rotating body having a weight member mounted on an outer peripheral part of an inertia plate sandwiched between a pair of retaining plates, and an elastic member provided between the inertia plate and the retaining plates. A claw part is provided on one of the retaining plates disposed on a side opposite to the clutch constituent member with respect to the inertia plate. The first damper spring is sandwiched between the claw part and the clutch constituent member, and an elongated hole is formed in the inertia plate, the elongated hole extending lengthwise in a peripheral direction of the inertia plate while the claw part is inserted through the elongated hole.
