Abstract:
A simple and low-cost structure is provided for fixing friction members of a torque limiter. The torque limiter includes a flywheel (5), a clutch plate (20), a spline hub (22), a clutch disc assembly (6) and a transmission torque limiting part (7). The flywheel (5) includes a friction coupling surface (14b). The clutch plate (20) includes plural axial through holes (20b). Plural friction members (26) are respectively attached to the through holes (20b). The spline hub (22) can be engaged with a transmission-side shaft (3). The clutch disc assembly (6) circumferentially elastically couples the clutch plate (20) and the spline hub (22). The transmission torque limiting part (7) limits torque to be transmitted from the flywheel (5) to the transmission-side shaft (3) while the friction members (26) are interposed and held between the transmission torque limiting part (7) and the friction coupling surface (14b) of the flywheel (5).

Abstract:
A vehicular fluid power transmitting device includes a pump impeller, a turbine runner, a damper device, and a ring-shaped annular set member. The pump shell has a rear shell and a front shell that is connected to the rear shell. Also, the ring-shaped annular set member connects the damper output member to the front shell and is fixed to the front shell. An intermediate position between a position of an outer radius of the front shell and a position of a radius of the cylindrical shaft is included in a width (W) of the annular set member in a radial direction of the annular set member.
Abstract:
A torque fluctuation absorber includes a center plate rotatably arranged, a side plate arranged coaxially with and rotatably relative to the center plate, an elastic member accommodated in a space surrounded by the side plate and absorbing torque fluctuations generated between the side plate and the center plate, a cover member separating the space and an outside space from each other by covering a clearance between the center plate and the side plate, and a vent portion arranged inwardly in a radial direction of the side plate relative to the cover member and providing a ventilation between the space and the outside space.
Abstract:
A flexible plate is formed with a first rigidity about a first axis and a second rigidity about a second axis where the first and second axis are each perpendicular to a central axia about which the flexible plate is rotatable. The first rigidity is greater than the second rigidity such that the flexible plate may flex more easily about the second axis than the first axis, thus providing the flexible plate with an anisotropic flexural rigidity. In one embodiment, the flexible plate is formed with an eliptical intermediate portion. In another embodiment, the flexible plate includes first and second plates. Each plate has a central portion. The first plate has first foot portions and the second plate has second foot portions. The first and second foot portions have differing circumferential widths.
