A friction disc in a tandem frictional engagement device, that is spline-fitted to a first coupling members is pressed by a first piston in a first direction, wherein the friction disc and another friction disc on the side of a first coupled member are clamped between the first piston and a first stopper member. A friction disc that is spline-fitted to a second coupling member is pressed by a second piston in an opposite direction, wherein the friction disc and another friction disc on the side of a second coupled member are clamped between the second piston and a second stopper member. A leading end of a first fitting portion of the first coupling member to which the friction disc is spline-fitted is the second stopper member and substantially abuts a second fitting portion of the second coupling member to which the friction disc is spline-fitted.

A support structure for supporting a brake, as a frictional coupling device, includes a snap ring, a friction plate, and a back plate. The snap ring fits in a groove that extends in a circle. The back plate is disposed between the friction plate and the snap ring. The back plate is pressed against the snap ring. The snap ring has a first end face that faces the back plate and a second end face that faces the opposite side from the first end face and is in contact with a sidewall of the groove. The back plate has an end face that is in contact with the first end face. The static friction coefficient between the first end face of the snap ring and the end face of the back plate is smaller than that between the second end face of the snap ring and the sidewall of the groove.

A piston for an automatic transmission, wherein a first piston member forming a cylindrical portion of the piston has a plurality of axial cutouts and a circumferential groove formed in one axial end portion thereof, and a second piston member forming a bottom portion of the piston has a plurality of radially extending engaging jaws fitted in the plurality of axial cutouts, while a retainer ring is fitted in the circumferential groove and held in abutting contact with the engaging jaws fitted in the axial cutouts, whereby the first and second piston members are fixed to each other. At least one of the engaging jaws of the second piston member cooperates with the retainer ring to form a gap therebetween, which prevents a stress concentration on portions of the circumferential groove adjacent to the axial cutouts, upon an axial movement of the piston, so that the required thickness of the retainer ring can be reduced, leading to size reduction of the piston.
