  • Flat spring torsional vibration dampers
    Patent number: 9328774
    Abstract: An apparatus includes a first part, a second part that is rotatably mounted with respect to the first part, a flat spring, and one or more engaging members. The flat spring extends from a first end to a second end and is able to bend in a first direction and a second direction. The one or more engaging members are connected to the second part and engage the flat spring at a location between the first end of the flat spring and the second end of the flat spring to restrict bending of the flat spring in at least one of the first direction or the second direction.
