Abstract
Providing a vehicle damper device enabling acquisition of hysteresis torque with a simple structure. When the stoppersandare actuated and the relative rotation is regulated between the platesand the disc plate, a slip occurs between the platesand the hub member. As a result, a friction force is generated between the platesand the hub member, and a hysteresis torque is generated based on this friction force. Since this configuration can be achieved by simply providing the plates, the clip, and the stoppers, the hysteresis torque can be acquired with a simple configuration without a significant design change.
