Abstract:
A torque variation suppressing apparatus includes a rotation element, and a plurality of first elastic elements and second elastic elements which apply elastic forces to the rotation element. With a rotation of the rotation element, a torque applied to the rotation element from each of the first elastic elements and the second elastic elements changes periodically, and a phase of the torque applied to the rotation element from at least one of the first elastic elements and the second elastic elements is changed so that an overall torque characteristic applied to the rotation element is set variable.

Claim (Index 11):
A phase adjustment mechanism comprising:\n a rotation element; an elastic structure that applies, to the rotation element, a torque which changes periodically with a rotation of the rotation element; a retainer that retains the elastic structure with a retaining torque which is greater than or equal to a maximum torque applied to the rotation element from the elastic structure; and a driver unit that reduces the retaining torque to a torque smaller than the maximum torque, to move the elastic structure relative to the retainer, and to consequently set a phase of the torque applied to the rotation element from the elastic structure variable.
