Abstract
A torsion damping assembly comprises two coaxial parts mounted for relative angular movement within predetermined limits of angular displacement. Circumferentially acting springs are operative between the parts in a range of angular displacement. An intervening element is responsive to centrifugal force for movement from a standby position to an operative position above a predetermined structural speed and is urged back toward the standby position in the operative position. The intervening element directly or indirectly circumferentially bears against one of the coaxial parts to define a circumferential abutment for one of the resilient elements in the operative position to modify the operational characteristics of the assembly.
