ABSTRACT:
A flexible plate (3) transmits torque from a crank shaft (4) in an engine to a fly wheel main body (2) while absorbing axial vibration, and includes a first disc element (7) and a second disc element (8). The first disc element (7) is fixed to a distal end of the crank shaft (4). A second disc element (8) has its inner circumferential portion is connected to the first disc element (7), with both being connected to the crank shaft (4) at their respective inner circumferential portions. The outer circumferential portion of the second disc element (8) is longer in the radial direction than the first disc element (7) and is connected to the fly wheel main body (2). The second disc element (8) can be flexibly transformed in axial directions.
