Abstract:
A vibration damping device for a motor vehicle drive system, comprising:a base body rotatable about an axis of rotation; and a deflection mass arrangement arranged in said base body and comprising a deflection mass and a deflection path associated with said deflection mass and along which the deflection mass is movable during rotation of the base body about said axis of rotation, wherein the deflection path comprises a vertex area in an area of said deflection path located furthest from said axis of rotation, deflection areas arranged on two opposing axial sides of said vertex area and projecting substantially axially, and additional deflection areas proceeding substantially circumferentially from two opposing circumferential sides of said vertex area, wherein said deflection areas and said additional deflection areas are connected to form a deflection field for said associated deflection mass, wherein said deflection field faces said axis of rotation and is curved toward said axis of rotation proceeding from said vertex area.
