Abstract:
A damping device according to one embodiment includes a base member fixed to a vibration suppression target, a first coil spring, a second coil spring, and a weight member. The first coil spring includes a first fixed-side end turn portion supported on a first support portion of the base member, a first effective portion, and a first movable-side end turn portion. The second coil spring includes a second fixed-side end turn portion supported on a second support portion of the base member, a second effective portion, and a second movable-side end turn portion. Each of the first coil spring and the second coil spring is deflected in a longitudinal direction along the axis, and a transverse direction perpendicular to the axis. The weight member is arranged between the first coil spring and the second coil spring, and moves in the longitudinal direction and the transverse direction.

Claim (Index 1):
A damping device arranged in a vibration suppression target, a first resonance frequency in a first lateral direction of the vibration suppression target being greater than a second resonance frequency in a second lateral direction of the vibration suppression target, and the damping device comprising:\n a base member including a main body portion including an axis, a first support portion provided on one side of the main body portion in an axial direction thereof, and a second support portion provided on the other side of the main body portion in the axial direction, the base member being fixed to the vibration suppression target; a first coil spring formed of a first wire, the first coil spring including a first fixed-side end turn portion supported on the first support portion, a first effective portion extending in a direction toward the second support portion helically from the first fixed-side end turn portion, and a first movable-side end turn portion formed at a distal end of the first effective portion, the first coil spring being deflected in a longitudinal direction along the axis, a first transverse direction corresponding to the first lateral direction perpendicular to the axis, and a second transverse direction corresponding to the second lateral direction perpendicular to the axis, and the first effective portion being controlled such that a spring constant derived when deflection occurs in the second transverse direction is smaller than a spring constant derived when deflection occurs in the first transverse direction; a second coil spring formed of a second wire, the second coil spring including a second fixed-side end turn portion supported on the second support portion, a second effective portion extending in a direction toward the first support portion helically from the second fixed-side end turn portion, and a second movable-side end turn portion formed at a distal end of the second effective portion, the second coil spring being deflected in the longitudinal direction along the axis and the first and second transverse directions perpendicular to the axis, and the second effective portion being controlled such that a spring constant derived when deflection occurs in the second transverse direction is smaller than a spring constant derived when deflection occurs in the first transverse direction; and a weight member arranged between the first coil spring and the second coil spring in a state of compressing the first coil spring and the second coil spring, the weight member including a first end portion supported on the first movable-side end turn portion, and a second end portion supported on the second movable-side end turn portion, and being moved in the longitudinal direction and the first and second transverse directions.
