Abstract: A torsional damper device suitable for automobile vehicles comprises a driving part, an intermediate part and a driven part disposed coaxially and rotatable relative to each other within predetermined limits of relative angular displacement. Lost motion meshing teeth between the driving, intermediate and driven parts are adapted to determine these predetermined limits of relative angular displacement. First and second circumferentially acting spring units between the driving, intermediate and driven parts oppose relative angular displacement of these parts for at least two ranges of relative angular displacement. Lost motion meshing teeth between the driving, intermediate and driven parts define these two ranges of relative angular displacement. A first plurality of elements in the driving part include a friction disk and at least a disk to support and center it.
