Title:
TORQUE CONVERTER
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JPS58131466
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
PURPOSE:To prevent the occurrence of vibration of a car body by dividing the outer gap between a turbine and an input case by a radial intermediate partition wall with only the one chamber communicating to a path opened to the atmosphere and the other one to the inner gap between the turbine and a pump. CONSTITUTION:The outer gap 9 between a turbine 2 and an inlet case 5 is divided by a radial intermediate partition wall 13 into a chamber 9a communicating to a path 10 opened to the atmosphere and a chamber 9b communicating to the inner gap 7 between the turbine 2 and a pump 3. Thus, a fastening force of a friction clutch 12 can be accommodated to allow for the slip of the clutch 12 when a switch controlling valve 11 interposed in a path 10 is opened even if oil pressure in the gap 7 is increased. Thus, the rotational variation of an engine connected to an input shaft 4 is not transmitted to a speed change mechanism connected to an output shaft 6 as it is, without producing the vibration of a car.
