Fluid torque converter equipped with torque variation buffering means

Abstract

Abstract PURPOSE:To control the beating noise generated in the revolution power transmission system by incorporating a torque variation buffering means between a turbine runner and an output shaft. CONSTITUTION:When a turbine runner 7 is supported onto an output shaft 9 through a disk 8, a compression coil spring 16 is inserted into the groove 15 in the peripheral direction of the disk 8, and annular elements 17 and 18 are installed on both sides of the disk 8,and the annular disk 28 for fixing the runner 7 is arranged on the disk 8, and rotatably engaged with a one-way clutch 11 on one side of the disk 28, and frictionally engaged with the disk 8 through an annular lining sheet 30 on the other side. Thus, the runner 7 is interlocked with the output shaft 9 via an elastic revolution power transmitting circuit arranged through a spring 16 etc. and via a frictional contact revolution power transmitting circuit arranged through the disk 28 etc., and sharp inversion of torque can be absorbed in the deformation of the spring 16 and the frictional sliding of the disc 28, sheet 30 etc.
