Abstract

A torsion damping device having two coaxial parts (12, 3) mounted so as to move angularly with respect to each other counter to elastic member (7), including members (71, 72, 73) acting between radial lugs (55, 65) offset circumferentially and belonging to two phasing washers (5, 6). The phasing washers (5, 6) are mounted in reverse orientations and concentrically, the outer washer surrounding the inner washer. The inner washer (5) is pivotally mounted on a first one (3) of the coaxial parts (3, 12), while the outer washer (6) is pivotally mounted on the first or the second of the coaxial parts (3, 12).
