Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A vehicular damper device interposed between an engine and an output shaft and provided with a dual-mass flywheel includes: a first inertial body in the form of a disk connected to a crankshaft of said engine and rotatable about an axis of said crankshaft; a torsional damping portion interposed between said first inertial body and said output shaft; a second inertial body in the form of a disk rotatable about said axis and having a smaller outside diameter than said first inertial body, said second inertial body cooperating with said first inertial body to constitute said dual-mass flywheel; and an elastic member interposed between said first inertial body and said second inertial body and operatively connecting said first and second inertial bodies such that said elastic member is elastically deformable according to an amount of relative rotation of the first and second inertial bodies.
