A fluctuation absorbing apparatus includes a first plate secured to a flywheel, a second plate disposed at a distance from the first plate, a third plate slidably sandwiched between the first plate and the second plate, and a resilient section that is supported by, fixed to or integrated with the first plate or the second plate and biases the second plate toward the first plate.

Torque fluctuation absorbing apparatus

The torque fluctuation absorber includes a flywheel fixed on a first rotating shaft by a fixation member, a damper unit connected with a second rotating shaft and absorbs fluctuation of torque occurred between the first rotating shaft and the second rotating shaft by elastic force, and a limiter unit provided on a power transmission path between the flywheel and the damper unit and inducing a slide when the fluctuation of the torque exceeded a predetermined value. A predetermined member rotates with the first rotating shaft on a power transmission path between the first rotating shaft and the limiter unit. The predetermined member has a side plate at the damper unit and a guide portion that prevents movement radially of a hub member, and the guide portion is provided at radially internal side of the fixation member.

A torque fluctuation absorbing apparatus includes a first plate member, a second plate member rotatable relative to the first plate member, and a first friction member disposed between the first plate member and the second plate member and pressed against the first plate member in a slidable manner. The second plate member includes a first retaining surface that makes contact with the first friction member. The first friction member includes a plurality of grooves at a surface facing the first retaining surface of the second plate member, the grooves extending in a radial direction of the first friction member.

A torque fluctuation absorber includes a first plate member, ring-shaped second and third plate members, a fourth plate member, a resilient member and a predetermined member. The resilient member absorbs torque fluctuation between the second or third plate member and the fourth plate member. The predetermined member on a power transmission path between at least two of the first, second and third plate members has a stopper section. The stopper section allows relative rotation between the second or third plate member and the fourth plate member within a predetermined distance in the circumferential direction of the second plate member. The stopper section prevents relative rotation between the second or third plate member and the fourth plate member by contacting to the fourth plate member.
