Abstract
A torsion damping device has a pair of guide rings, a damper plate and a hub. Resilient are confined between the two guide rings, and arranged on either side of the damper plate so as to bear on the damper plate or the hub in such a way as to exert a biassing and gripping force thereon. There is a radial clearance between the hub and whichever one of the two coaxial parts of the damper is freely mounted with respect to the hub, in such a way that the hub is floatingly mounted with respect to that coaxial part.
