Abstract
A shoe mounts an outer spring defining a longitudinal direction and an inner spring arranged within the outer spring. The outer and inner springs define corresponding end sides of the outer and inner springs, and the shoe defines an end side of the shoe. A spring-position limitation limits the outer spring in its longitudinal direction and enables the inner spring to emerge at the end side of the shoe out of the outer spring. A driver primary element exerts a pressure on the inner spring as the driver approaches the outer and inner springs in a direction of the corresponding end sides of the outer and inner springs.
Claims20
A shoe for mounting an outer spring (1) defining a longitudinal direction and an inner spring (2) arranged within said outer spring (1), said outer and inner springs (1, 2) defining corresponding end sides (43, 44) of said outer and inner springs (1, 2) and said shoe comprising:
- an end side of said shoe;
- a spring-position limitation (42) for limiting said outer spring (1) in said longitudinal direction and enabling said inner spring (2) to emerge at said end side of said shoe out of said outer spring (1);
- and
- a driver primary element (19a;
- 19b) that exerts a pressure on said inner spring (2) as said driver primary element (19a;
- 19b) approaches said outer and inner springs (1, 2) in a direction of corresponding said end sides (43, 44) of said outer and inner springs (1, 2).
A torsional-vibration damper (3) having at least one shoe for mounting an outer spring (1) defining a longitudinal direction and an inner spring (2) arranged within said outer spring (1), said outer and inner springs (1, 2) defining corresponding end sides (43, 44) of said outer and inner springs (1, 2) and said shoe comprising:
- an end side of said shoe;
- a spring-position limitation (42) for limiting said outer spring (1) in said longitudinal direction and enabling said inner spring (2) to emerge at said end side of said shoe out of said outer spring (1);
- and
- a driver primary element (19a;
- 19b) that exerts a pressure on said inner spring (2) as said driver primary element (19a;
- 19b) approaches said outer and inner springs (1, 2) in a direction of corresponding said end sides (43, 44) of said outer and inner springs (1, 2).
