Abstract:
A mass damper system with a damper mass carrier having guide paths for receiving damper masses. The guide paths initiate swiveling movement at the damper masses around a center of mass during deflection of the damper masses. String lengths of imaginary string pendulums predetermine a position of respective coupling element configure the guide paths and the path curve is based on a first radial portion that extends from a central axis of the damper mass carrier to a connection point of a second radial portion and the second radial portion extends from the first radial portion to the center of mass. A ratio value is formed from a swiveling angle of the damper mass and its oscillation angle. A coupling element position in relation to the string length is determined by this ratio value.

Claim (Index 8):
A mass damper system comprising:\n damper masses having guide paths; coupling elements; a damper mass carrier that has guide paths that receive the damper masses, the guide paths being connected in each instance to the guide paths of the damper masses by the coupling elements, wherein the guide paths of the damper mass carrier and the damper masses initiate a swiveling movement at a respective damper mass by a swiveling angle around a center of mass of each respective damper mass when the damper masses are deflected by a deflection angle from an initial position due to centrifugal force, wherein a geometric configuration of the guide paths and a geometric configuration of a path curve of the center of mass of the respective damper mass are carried out in association with one another, wherein string lengths of imaginary string pendulums which result during the deflection of the respective damper mass from the initial position by a deflection angle and which predetermine the position of the respective coupling element in each instance are made use of for the geometric configuration of the guide paths, wherein the geometric configuration of the path curve of the center of mass of the respective damper mass is based on two imaginary radial portions, there being associated with the first radial portion an extension length from a central axis of the damper mass carrier to a connection point of the second radial portion, and the first radial portion executes movements along an oscillation angle of the respective damper mass around the central axis, while an extension length from the connection point at the first radial portion to the center of mass of the respective damper mass is associated with the second radial portion, and the second radial portion executes movements along a deflection angle around the connection point at the first radial portion, wherein after specifying a ratio value diverging from zero, which is determined from the swiveling angle of the respective damper mass in relation to its oscillation angle, a position of the respective coupling element in relation to the string length of the imaginary string pendulum associated with this coupling element is determined by selecting that location along the string length at which the position of the coupling element at the respective imaginary string pendulum remains unchanged over the deflection angle and at which contact forces acting between the coupling elements and the guide paths of damper mass carrier and damper masses are directed toward one another independent from the respective deflection angle in order to obtain a plurality of path points for the guide paths in damper mass carrier and damper masses, wherein the plurality of path points differ from one another with respect to their radii and, by connecting to one another, form a polygonal chain by path curve segments that are strung together.
