Abstract

A double flywheel, the friction members of which comprise a first ring (41) and a second ring (46) which are situated radially one outside the other, the first ring being gripped elastically in frictional contact against a friction face (40) of one of the rotating masses by a closure ring (45), a resiliently acting ring (48) being interposed between this closure ring (45) and the friction ring (46), so as to constitute two-stage friction members having a reduced number of components.
