Abstract

Abstract A dual-type damper for damping vibration of a rotation axle, having a damper pulley including a boss portion joined to the rotation axle, a cylindrical portion located radially outwardly of the boss portion, and a connection portion connecting the boss and cylindrical portions; a first damper mass disposed radially outwardly of the cylindrical portion, concentrically with the same; a first resilient member interposed between the cylindrical portion and the first damper mass; and a metallic annular member press-fitted onto an inside surface of the cylindrical portion. A second damper mass having a cylindrical shape is disposed between the connection portion and the annular member, in an inner space of the cylindrical portion, concentrically with the cylindrical portion; and a second resilient member is disposed between the annular member and one axial end of the second damper mass, so as to secure the second damper mass to the annular member. A dual-type damper of another embodiment has a damper pulley including a cylindrical portion; a first damper mass; a first resilient member; a second damper mass having a cylindrical shape and disposed in an inner space of the cylindrical portion; a second resilient member supporting the second damper mass at one axial end of the same; and a third resilient member mounted on an outside surface of the second damper mass, or on an inside surface of the cylindrical portion.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim 298 words
A dual-type damper device for damping vibration of a rotation axle, comprising: a damper pulley including a boss portion joined to said rotation axle, a cylindrical portion located radially outwardly of said boss portion, and a connection portion connecting said boss portion and said cylindrical portion; a first damper-mass member disposed radially outwardly of said cylindrical portion of said damper pulley, such that said first damper-mass member is spaced apart from, and concentric with, said cylindrical portion; a first resilient member interposed between said cylindrical portion of said damper pulley and said first damper-mass member; a second damper-mass member having a cylindrical shape and two axial ends, said second damper-mass member being disposed in an inner space of said cylindrical portion of said damper pulley, such that a space is provided between said second damper-mass member and said cylindrical portion, said space permitting said second damper-mass member to be radially displaced relative to said cylindrical portion, without being brought into butting contact with said cylindrical portion, upon application of the vibration of the rotation axle to the dual-type damper device; a set bolt for joining said boss portion of said damper pulley to said rotation axle, said set bolt being fixed to said rotation axle and extending in an inner space of said second damper-mass member; a circular member fixed at a central portion thereof to said set bolt; and a second resilient member disposed between said circular member and one of the axial ends of said second damper-mass member which is opposed to said circular member, said second resilient member securing said second damper-mass member to an outer annular portion of said circular member, said second resilient member being subjected to shear deformation due to relative radial displacement between said circular member and said second damper-mass member.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 298 words
A dual-type damper device for damping vibration of a rotation axle, comprising: a damper pulley including a boss portion joined to said rotation axle, a cylindrical portion located radially outwardly of said boss portion, and a connection portion connecting said boss portion and said cylindrical portion; a first damper-mass member disposed radially outwardly of said cylindrical portion of said damper pulley, such that said first damper-mass member is spaced apart from, and concentric with, said cylindrical portion; a first resilient member interposed between said cylindrical portion of said damper pulley and said first damper-mass member; a second damper-mass member having a cylindrical shape and two axial ends, said second damper-mass member being disposed in an inner space of said cylindrical portion of said damper pulley, such that a space is provided between said second damper-mass member and said cylindrical portion, said space permitting said second damper-mass member to be radially displaced relative to said cylindrical portion, without being brought into butting contact with said cylindrical portion, upon application of the vibration of the rotation axle to the dual-type damper device; a set bolt for joining said boss portion of said damper pulley to said rotation axle, said set bolt being fixed to said rotation axle and extending in an inner space of said second damper-mass member; a circular member fixed at a central portion thereof to said set bolt; and a second resilient member disposed between said circular member and one of the axial ends of said second damper-mass member which is opposed to said circular member, said second resilient member securing said second damper-mass member to an outer annular portion of said circular member, said second resilient member being subjected to shear deformation due to relative radial displacement between said circular member and said second damper-mass member.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 133 words
A dual-type damper device according to claim 1, further comprising a third resilient member mounted no an outside surface of said second damper-mass member, or on an inside surface of said cylindrical portion of said damper pulley which is opposed to said outside surface of said second damper-mass member, said third resilient member being brought into butting contact with said inside surface of said cylindrical portion, or with said outside surface of said second damper-mass member, when said second damper-mass member is largely displaced relative to said cylindrical portion of said damper pulley, wherein said third resilient member extends to a predetermined height from said outside surface of said second damper-mass member toward said inside surface of said cylindrical portion of said damper pulley, or from said inside surface toward said outside surface.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 31 words
A dual-type damper device according to claim 2, wherein said second damper-mass member has in said outside surface thereof an annular groove in which said third resilient member is partially fitted.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 24 words
A dual-type damper device according to claim 1, wherein said circular member prevents said second damper-mass member from falling off the dual-type damper device.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 29 words
A dual-type damper device according to claim 1, wherein said second resilient member is vulcanized to said circular member and said one axial end of said second damper-mass member.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 41 words
A dual-type damper device according to claim 1, wherein said first damper-mass member is in the form of a V-ribbed cylindrical body which has in an outside surface thereof a plurality of V-grooves around which at least one V-belt is wound.
