Abstract:
A dampening disk assembly comprising:first and second input plates;an intermediate plate disposed between said first and second input plates,a first elastic member elastically coupling said first and second input plates and said intermediate plate in a rotary direction;an output hub disposed on inner circumferential sides of said first and second input plates and said intermediate plate; anda dampening mechanism located between said output hub and said intermediate plate, said dampening mechanism elastically coupling said output hub and said intermediate plate in a rotary direction, said dampening mechanism includinga first member non-rotatably coupled with an outer circumference of said output hub and axially movably with respect to said output hub, said first member having a first friction face and a first supporting part on one of the axial surfaces thereof,a second member coupled to rotate with said intermediate plate, said second member having a second friction face contacting said first friction face and a second supporting part corresponding to said first supporting part,a second elastic member located between and supported by said first and second supporting parts to elastically couple said first and second members in a rotary direction, andan urging member disposed between said hub and said first member to urge said first friction face of said first member and said second friction face of said second friction member towards each other.
