Abstract
A double mass flywheel has an inertia member, a flexible plate, a second flywheel, an elastic member, and a friction generation mechanism. The flexible plate is deformable in a bending direction and connects the inertia member to a crankshaft. The second flywheel is formed with a clutch friction surface. The elastic member elastically connects the second flywheel to the crankshaft in the rotational direction. The friction generation mechanism is located functionally in parallel with the elastic member in the rotational direction. The friction generation mechanism is held by the flexible plate.
