ABSTRACT:
A damper mechanism4has an input rotary member2, a hub flange6, a large coil spring8and a friction generating mechanism5. In a state in which the input rotary member2is twisted to one side in the rotational direction with respect to the hub flange6, the friction member is pressed in the rotational direction against the hub flange6in a state in which at least part of the friction member has been elastically deformed in the relational direction, so that the friction member and the hub flange6function as an integral member in the rotational direction. In a state in which the input rotary member2is twisted to one side in the rotational direction with respect to the hub flange6, the friction member is capable of relative rotation with respect to the hub flange.
