Torque absorbing device

A torque absorbing device comprising:

• a hub member having a radially extending flange portion and a hub portion;
• plate members disposed around the hub portion on opposite sides of the flange portion;
• a plurality of torsion members elastically interconnecting the hub member and the plate members in the circumferential direction to absorb torque created during relative rotational movement between the hub member and the plate members;
• and
• a seat member positioned at each end of each respective torsion member, each seat member having a first side face contacting the end of the respective torsion member and an oppositely facing second side face, the second side face of each seat member having a projecting holding portion which is received in recesses provided in the flange portion and the plate members to hold the seat member on the hub member and the plate members in circumferential and diametrical directions.
