Abstract

An installation for damping vibrations in the drive connection of vehicles, especially of motor vehicles, with the aid of a vibration damper whose vibrating mass is constructed as annular body and is connected with a driving part of the drive connection by means of an elastic body; the damper thereby serves for damping the torsional vibrations of the drive connection and also the bending vibrations of the drive shaft while the elastic body is delimited, on the one hand, by a cylinder surface and, on the other, by a polygonal surface.
