Abstract
A damper device includes a first rotor, a second rotor rotatable relative to the first rotor, a plurality of elastic members circumferentially aligned, an intermediate member, and a hysteresis generating mechanism. The intermediate member is disposed axially between the first rotor and the second rotor. The hysteresis generating mechanism is disposed axially between the first rotor and the second rotor to generate a hysteresis torque in relative rotation between the first rotor and the second rotor. The intermediate member includes an annular portion and a support portion. The annular portion is provided radially outside the plurality of elastic members. The support portion protrudes radially inward from the annular portion. The support portion is disposed between at least circumferentially adjacent two of the plurality of elastic members. The support portion actuates the at least circumferentially adjacent two of the plurality of elastic members in series.
