Abstract

A torsionally elastic vibration-damping and/or coupling mechanism has tor-transmitting, radial leaf springs, which at one end are gripped in an outer member and at the other end engage grooves of an inner member. To impart such a damping or coupling device a particularly long life by avoiding unfavorable friction conditions, rolling elements are disposed in the grooves between the leaf springs and the sides of the grooves.
