Abstract
The invention concerns a torsion damper, especially for a disc type friction clutch for an automotive vehicle. The damper comprises a lining support plate and a hub which are movable angularly with respect to each other. The support plate and the hub are coupled together by two torsion damping devices, one of which comprises guide rings and a damper plate mounted on the hub and centered with respect to the guide rings by means of a bush surrounding the hub and having a face plate with axially extending centering pins or the like, engaged in corresponding apertures in the damper plate or face plate. The invention is especially applicable to the automobile field.
