A sound absorbing and insulating member alternately brought into contact with a first partition member and a second partition member. The sound absorbing and insulating member has a plurality of hollow protrusions protruding so as to traverse a gap between the partition members. There is a first and second space between the first and second partition member. The first space is formed in each protrusion and is closed by the first partition member. The second space is provided between adjacent protrusions and is closed by the second partition member. The first and second spaces communicate with each other through a communication part formed as a part of the protrusion. The communication part is configured to communicate an inside of the protrusion with an outside. An opening of the communication part opened to the second space is provided at a side wall of the protrusion.

The invention relates to a torsion carrier, particularly a torsion spring, helical spring, drive shaft or balance shaft, which enables significant material and installation space savings compared to the prior art. The torsion carrier consists of a plurality of, but at least two supporting layers lying radially one above the other, each of which consists of at least one spiral coil (1, 3), but preferably of a plurality of spiral coils made of predominantly unidirectional composite fiber material, wherein at least two of the supporting layers have a counterrotating spiral coil orientation relative to one other. An elastic intermediate spacer layer (2) is arranged between adjacent spiral coil layers, by means of which a decoupling of the spiral coil expansions of adjacent spiral coil layers is achieved. This achieves particularly favorable, predominantly single-axis states of stress which allow for a high level of material utilization.
