Abstract
A torsion damper, especially for a motor vehicle, comprises two coaxial parts, namely a primary coaxial part and a secondary coaxial part respectively, which are mounted for relative rotation of one with respect to the other against the action of resilient members acting circumferentially, with each of these resilient members extending lengthwise generally over an arc of a circle. At least one of the circumferential end portions of at least one of the resilient members is associated with deflecting members consisting of camming members, such that in operation, the circumferential end portion of the resilient members is urged radially towards the axis of the assembly, at least when the angular displacement between the two coaxial parts exceeds a predetermined amount.
