Abstract
A torque damping device including a support disc, a second guide washer provided with pressed sections and an intermediate hub disc. The support disc has elastic clamps acting on the hub disc for pushing the pressed sections towards the hub disc. The invention is particularly applicable to clutch friction for motor vehicles.
Claims16
A torsion damping device comprising at least two coaxial parts (10A, 10B) mounted for rotation of one with respect to the other within the limits of a predetermined angular displacement and against the action of circumferentially acting resilient members (11), one of the coaxial parts (11 A, 11B) comprising a hub plate (13) while the other comprises a support plate (14, 114) fixed to two guide rings (14, 14') which flank and are spaced away from the hub plate (13), and each of the resilient members (11) being mounted partly in seatings (20) formed in the hub plate (13) and partly in corresponding seatings (21, 21') formed in the guide rings (14, 14'), whereby a first one of the guide rings (14', 214'), includes press-formed elements and which are directed towards the hub plate (13), and in that the support plate (14, 114) is firstly arranged on the other side of the hub plate (13) with respect to the first guide ring (14, 214'), and secondly has, in facing relationship with the press-formed elements (30), lugs (31, 131) which are elastically deformable in the axial direction and which act on the hub plate (13) so as to urge the press-formed elements (30) towards the hub plate (30).
