The invention relates to a vibration damping device for vertical vibrations, in particular for the handles of manually guided single-axis appliances driven by a combustion engine, such as, for example, a tractor, sickle-bar mower, snow clearer, or similar, whereby an oscillating crank is provided which is attached to the appliance by at least one joint and one coupling element and that said oscillating crank is supported by at least one spring element on the appliance.
