  • Minimum complexity vibration damper
    Patent number: 4679678
    Abstract: A minimum complexity vibration damper that integrates the function of structural components and reduced lag in a vibration damping system. This assembly utilizes pressure plate formations for spring seats and the configuration of the pressure plate for spring retention. The reactor plate or hub is designed to concentrate spring unit loading on the hub and away from other components of the assembly, thereby decreasing lag. A spring retainer plate may be utilized in conjunction with the hub and pressure plates.
