  • Patent number: 10443670
    Abstract: A damping device according to one embodiment includes a base member fixed to a vibration suppression target, a first coil spring, a second coil spring, and a weight member. The first coil spring includes a first fixed-side end turn portion supported on a first support portion of the base member, a first effective portion, and a first movable-side end turn portion. The second coil spring includes a second fixed-side end turn portion supported on a second support portion of the base member, a second effective portion, and a second movable-side end turn portion. Each of the first coil spring and the second coil spring is deflected in a longitudinal direction along the axis, and a transverse direction perpendicular to the axis. The weight member is arranged between the first coil spring and the second coil spring, and moves in the longitudinal direction and the transverse direction.
