ABSTRACT:
A direct-coupled clutch for a torque converter 10 has a front cover 11, a piston clutch plate 12 having a frictional facing 12a, a turbine 13, a driven plate 14, secured to the piston clutch plate 12 for rotation in unison with the piston clutch plate, a disk 16 circumferentially movably arranged between the piston clutch plate 12 and the driven plate 14, a first resilient member 17 and a second resilient member 18 arranged between the piston clutch plate 12 and the turbine 13. The driven plate 14 has a first receiving part 15a and a second receiving part, formed radially more inwardly than the first receiving part, for carrying the second resilient member. The driven plate 14 has a first pawl for circumferentially compressing the second resilient member and a second pawl 14b formed radially more inwardly than the first pawl 14a. The disk 16 has a retainer 16a for circumferentially compressing the first resilient member 17. The clutch has a simplified structure.
