Device for absorbing the torque variation

A device for absorbing the torque variation is constituted by a drive plate 2 coupled to a drive shaft 1, a flywheel 6 having a body 6a and a driven plate 6bsont disposed on the same axis as the drive plate so as to be rotatably supported thereon. A mechanism spring 12, a damping mechanism and torque limit 15, and a hysteresis mechanism 18 are interposed between the driving plate and the flywheel. The hysteresis mechanism 18 includes a hysteresis plate which is in a fixed state against rotation relative to the drive plate. A rubber member and a gasket are interposed between the hysteresis plate and the flywheel and a spring biases the hysteresis plate against the gasket and the flywheel.
