Abstract
A damping device (10) of the type comprising damping means which are disposed between two coaxial rotating inertia parts (12, 14), and which comprise at least one block of elastically deformable material (56A, 58A, 56B, 58B), which is interposed between the two rotating parts (12, 14), and on which there acts a mechanism which comprises a cam (46A, 46B) and a cam follower element (64A, 64B), characterised in that the cam (46A, 46B) is formed on a tilting member (42A, 42B) which is articulated with respect to a first one (12) of the two rotating parts, and in that the cam follower element is a roller (64A, 64B) which is carried by the second rotating mass (14, 66A, 66B), and which cooperates with the cam (46A, 46B) when the two parts (12, 14) rotate with respect to each other.
