  • Patent number: 4881426
    Abstract: A dual-type damper for damping vibration of a rotation axle, having a damper pulley including a boss portion joined to the rotation axle, a cylindrical portion located radially outwardly of the boss portion, and a connection portion connecting the boss and cylindrical portions; a first damper mass disposed radially outwardly of the cylindrical portion, concentrically with the same; a first resilient member interposed between the cylindrical portion and the first damper mass; and a metallic annular member press-fitted onto an inside surface of the cylindrical portion. A second damper mass having a cylindrical shape is disposed between the connection portion and the annular member, in an inner space of the cylindrical portion, concentrically with the cylindrical portion; and a second resilient member is disposed between the annular member and one axial end of the second damper mass, so as to secure the second damper mass to the annular member.

  • Patent number: 4815332
    Abstract: A dual-type damper device for damping vibration of a rotation axle, has a damper pulley including a boss portion joined to the rotation axle, a cylindrical portion located radially outwardly of the boss portion, and a connection portion connecting the boss portion and the cylindrical portion. A first damper-mass member is disposed radially outwardly of the cylindrical portion of the damper pulley, such that the first damper-mass member is spaced apart from, and concentric with, the cylindrical portion. A first resilient member is interposed between the cylindrical portion of the damper pulley and the first damper-mass member. A second damper-mass member has a cylindrical shape and is disposed concentrically in an inner space of the cylindrical portion of the damper pulley.
