Abstract
In a torque damper including damper springs accommodated in a channel defined around an outer periphery of a transmitting member with guide sheets sandwiched therebetween, notches are provided in an outer peripheral wall of the channel. Radially outward directed positioning claws on the guide sheets are engaged in the notches and urged axially by radially outward directed retaining claws on guide plates which are secured to a transmitting member to cover outer surfaces of the damper springs in the channel. Thus, the circumferential and axial movements of the guide sheets can be inhibited to prevent vibration of the guide sheets and wearing of the channel.
