Abstract

A lock-up device includes an input rotary member into which the torque is inputted and an output rotary member rotatable relatively to the input rotary member in a predetermined torsion angular range. The output rotary member outputs the torque. The lock-up device also includes a plurality of first coil springs coupling the input rotary member and the output rotary member. The plurality of first coil springs are actuated in an entirety of the torsion angular range. The lock-up device further includes a plurality of second coil spring pairs or sets on either an outer peripheral side or an inner peripheral side of the plurality of first coil springs so as to be actuated in parallel to the plurality of first coil springs. The two or more coil springs have different magnitudes of stiffness and are actuated in series.
